For years, only older ladies and "ladies who lunch" had Vera Bradley bags. You used to be only able to buy them at Hallmark stores. They were most often used as tote bags, for example, by visitors on Nantucket or Martha's Vineyard. When I read here last year that her stuff had become "a craze", it made me giggle. I mean, who buys their purse in a Hallmark store, right?
So yeah, the northeast has had them for a very long time, but only recently have I seen or heard of anyone under 40 using them. I personally cannot imagine ever buying one, bc the stigma of the "ugly hallmark store purses" is ingrained into my mind.
Sorry if this offends, but that's how we saw them years ago.
