Current favorite is Daisy Daisy but my retired favorites include Piccadilly Plum, Apple Green, and Emily. :)

I also have a satchel(???) in Ming that was given to me in a Senior Will.

As for it being in the Tampa Airport, I haven't seen it, I will have to check it out!

What are you favorite patterns?

You obviously did not hit the strip :p (especially the center of the strip)

Fave patterns: java blue, daisy daisy, yellow bird, cambridge. I am starting to like raspberry fizz

retired-apple green, americana red, tavern on the green, and alpine black

LOL.

I wondered where VB was popular and now I know.

Thetagirl218 03-12-2008 11:28 PM

So has anyone seen the new colors? I am absoutly in love with the new Yellow Bird pattern

Oddly enough it is Black and Gold....hmmm.... :)

Thetagirl, your Vera would stay nice and clean in that combination.

I was just looking for this thread. :)

Two of my students had the cutest VB bags today. One was a blue and gold purse and the other was a backpack. Both looked expensive but they were the cutest VB I've seen. If it hadn't been for this thread, I'd still think these items were a result of quilting as a hobby.

yup, i'm a student at UT-knoxville as well...and i'm pretty sure that's true about KD's getting vera's as a gift on bid day--but like someone mentioned, i'm sure they buy in bulk and get a good discount because of vera bradley's KD roots.

haha and it's definitely true--they are EVERYWHERE on campus. almost every sorority girl has one, and a lot of non-greeks do as well. like TNmomof5 said, our bookstore is an authorized retailer. in fact, i rotate between my vera bradley ID holder and my sorority one :]

same deal with uggs and crokies...they are EVERYWHERE..

That would be Riviera Blue, one of the new five spring patterns. I love the new spring collection.

I recently just came around to Java Blue which I hated for a very long time but love now. I really want stuff in Yellow Bird, Riviera Blue, Raspberry Fizz, Daisy Daisy, Pink Elephants, well...my list of disliked patterns is shorter. But I don't feel the need to buy multiples in every single pattern to the tune of $30k like certain others known to some on this board (she doesn't post here. She says 'sororities are a load of bunk, no offense.' after going through rush and getting a bid. Right.)

Well, you know, when you and hubby are super-rich you don't need a sorority, because you really can buy your friends! ;)

You're just jealous because you're not fortunate like her. For the last time. Just let.it.go.

I love yellow bird. I bought the mini zip wallet and cargo sling in it. Tomorrow, I will be using them for the first time

I think the cargo sling is my new favorite bag

Um GP they're like not married. But did you know that he's a doctor and she's getting her doctorate in color theory, literature, nursing, nursing administration, teaching, teaching administration and really bad taste in hair, clothes, shoes and accessories (I think the last might be true actually. Are Manolos anything like Danskos? I cried. I actually cried.).

She's also an expert on copyright law, meaning she's above it but reports everyone else for vera bradley copyright infringement. She's a very smart lady.

I live in northern california and I can definitley say vera bradley is not popular here at all!

FlaGirl07 04-18-2008 11:07 PM

I have yet to meet a girl at FSU who does not carry Vera Bradley. Some of the girls even have their letters on them.
