Vera Bradley Blue Rhapsody Is Striking a Chord

The Vera Bradley Blue Rhapsody pattern is a pattern much like the Puccini of last fall.  Now, before you say, "What, it's not even close!  It lokos completely different!", let me say that I am not comparing the looks of the patterns as much as I am the way we respond to them.  When the Puccini pattern came out there were many out there who were repulsed by it and said they would never buy it.  Well a fwe months went buy and Puccini purses were flying off the shelves left and right.

The Blue Rhapsody pattern was dismissed by many who saw it for the first time on a website or in a store.  And let me just say that the pattern does look much better in person.  But the more we are seeing these sneak peaks of the 2009 fall patterns, the more people are turning to Blue Rhapsody as their favorite.

I started a poll to find out what fall 2009 pattern people liked the most, and at first Carnaby was the leader and Pirouette was at the bottom.  But upon last glance, Blue Rhapsody is favored above all of the others and for very good reason.  If you have not voted yet you can check out the poll here:

The Blue Rhapsody is a pattern we are not used to.  It uses color combinations and shades of blue and green that are pretty, but we were not used to seeing these colors on Vera Bradley bags.  I think the initial response was fairly negative because it was all just too new.  And this may be a hunch, but I think that's the reason Vera Bradley lets a few of these bags sell in a few test stores... to give us a chance to get used to the patterns and fall in love with them.

You can find some Vera Bradley Blue Rhapsody patterns on sale right now on ebay, even though the patterns will not be available anywhere else until August of this year.  More auctions are being added all the time so be the first to grab a Blue Rhapsody bag.  Your friends may not even know the new patterns had been revealed yet.
