I think the new patterns are garrish and would like to see smaller flowers and not such broad sweeping and large patterns

Hey M, I said the same thing. I thought all along the background of the purple punch was black. The pictures online make the brown seem so dark it looks black. I actually bought the purple punch on Monday morning when they came out. I had to wait for the store to unbox them so I could even buy one. I really like it though.

Ok, now I REALLY like purple punch! I just hope they don’t use purple in their purses too often, because then they’ll be Vera Wang instead of Vera Bradley.

(Oh, and are you guys color-blind? The background for purple punch is BROWN not BLACK!!)

I am sorry for those who are fans of the Hope Garden pattern, but I strongly dislike that particular pattern. It’s just a group of mismatched flowers that just lead your eyes all over the place. However, I love Vera Bradley stuff and I already have two of their purses. My favorite colors are Purple Punch and Cupcake pink. I think Vera Bradley is making a great come-back!

Over the year I feel that Vera bradley patterns have gotten too bold and less sophisticated. looking back at some of there own patterns Like sea port navy which I felt was one of there best and also they used to do softer florals that weren’t so overwhelming and more muted colors. Crazy about handbags!

Okay ladies, let me be the first to say that I was wrong about the hope garden. It is indeed cute in person. I was also very shocked to find out that the purple punch is not black and purple it is brown and purple. Overall I really liked all of the new patterns and styles. I purchased the purple punch in the new mailbag style. I will probably be back very soon to get the cupcake green in one of the other new styles. I truly love the new stuff and you will too!

Are there any new styles coming out in the spring? They have retired about 5 styles. Are they going to replace them when the spring patterns come out?

In my opinion some VBs look better in certain styles than others. Like I bet Hope Garden would look great in a Betsy but not in a smaller one like Coin Purse or Tech Case. Sometimes the scale of the print doesn’t look good on smaller (or bigger) styles. Anyone agree?

For instance, I hated Botanica on my friends smaller Hipster but love it on my super large Tote.

Maybe the Hope Garden that Janice saw was too small or too big for the pattern scale and that is why she wasn’t impressed. I hope so …… I thought I was going to like that one.
