Vera Bradley Mesa Red on Sale Here: Retired Pattern Flashback

This week's pattern flashback is Vera Bradley's infamous Mesa Red. Even though it is a retired pattern, it is simply a classic and a wonderful design that should be a part of anyone's Vera collection. This pattern had a two year career with VB, and that's not half bad considering some patterns are retired in a year. Mesa Red hit the scene in July of 2006 and was retired in July of 2008. This was actually my friend's very first pattern that came in the form of a hipster and it's still beloved today. I have seen quite a few Mesa Red's going around recently so perhaps women have been souring Ebay or yard sales looking for this pattern, but perhaps Vera Bradley should start stitching this pattern together again. I have always thought that the company could do nothing but benefit from bringing back a retro pattern to the delight of their fans. It's sort of like what Nike did with Air Jordan shoes. Whenever they did a retro model the shoes would sell out in minutes and everyone was happy (well, except for the prices of those Jordan shoes).

So what do you think of this week's retired pattern flashback? Is it one of your favs or do you have another discontinued pattern you want to see more of in your collection?
