Hey, I grew up in Missouri. I own and wear Cole Haans, Sperry Top-Siders, Brooks Brothers, and guess what..... I Fly Fish and do have Orvis stuff!!! I have since I was really little. Guess what? I have never lived more south than St. Charles Missouri. Granted, I do visit Columbia a lot and vacation in the Lake of the Ozarks.....which is prolly the most Hick vacation spot on earth. Yes, I have been to Gatlinburg twice --- and on purpose. I am not a hick and my family in considered to be in good standing

The truth is that everyone likes to have fun and there is a lot of cross-over despite whatever people may thing. Fashion trends are a ridiculous way to try and separate yourself from any group....just like how Vera Bradley is big in the South, it is becomming more and more of a trend here (I cannot tell you how many girls carry around books in a Vera Bradley Tote.) Recently, I got a letter shirt that has Vera Bradey letters...

Child of the Horn- I get your point, however I think it is funny that anyone would consider Vera Bradley southern considering the company started (and is still headquartered) in Fort Wayne, Indiana. And Fort Wayne is DEFINTELY NOT southern.

Well, believe it or not, some trends spread from South to all over. Vera Bradley might be one, I see it everywhere now, while it used to be limited almost entirely to sorority-type southern girls (at least that I saw). Also, I think its fair to say that the south was on the early end of the outdoor wear boom.
