Ruby Slippers for Kansas and Wisconsin DOES have a cow (as does Iowa)! Some of these look like they were drawn by a toddler.

I already have stuff in the print similar to NC.

SenI can be happy that DC got a print, too.

Alabama's is ADORABLE! Camellias - the state flower - with the green leaves shaped and "stitched" as footballs!

Oooh, mira! Georgia has a cute peach print and I like the print of my home state Texas, and Florida's and South Carolina's too. I don't like Arkansas's print! Who wants to wear a nasty old snake?

Yeah, some of them are not cute at all.

Ohhhh that Arkansas print is the most scary Lilly print I have ever seen. I wish they would not have done that. I like the Alabama, Nevada, and Maine ones the best. And I sort of like the Oklahoma one with the little schooner in it.

Hawaii, on quick glance, reads like the word "Alpha" instead of "Aloha".

Wisconsin, cute cow but not quite violets for flowers.

Love D.C.'s. Illinois is more than Chicago, but since it's flat I bet it's all windy.

Vineyard Vines is now in on it:

http://www.vineyardvines.com/categor...3060_____13051

They have Pi Phi, Zeta, Sigma Sigma Sigma, Kappa, Tri-Delt, DZ, Alpha Phi, Theta, Delta Gamma, and KD.

The designs are a little less flamboyant than Lilly, but VV is just more conservative across the board. If they had AXO, I'd totally get a piece. I wouldn't, however, get the tote--I bought one for my college (less than a year ago!) and now it's my "taking material samples in dirty old buildings" bag because it started fraying pretty early.

I hope those are clouds between the angels on the Pi Phi print but they look like flying sheep on my computer.

They look like clouds with wings...why would clouds have wings?

Or, maybe they're carnations.

The VV prints make Lilly look like art. Uniformly awful, although I definitely think ZTA's is the worst.

I think these are all way cuter than the Lilly prints. I'd get any of these over just about any of the Lilly ones.

I bought the Alpha Chi VV bag at a conference last year (they do exist - the chapter I advise just ordered them, too). It's definitely not the best quality for the price you pay, but it's pretty understated. It doesn't scream sorority across a room.

I knew the sorority totes were available, but I haven't had the best experience with VV totes. I bought my college VV tote last year and it's pretty busted at this point--more than something that cost $100 should be after a year. I'd buy something else, but it doesn't seem that the other items are available.
