Vera Bradley and Greek Life

[speedsters]

vera was huge at my undergrad in maryland and pretty popular at home in jersey.

especially among girls in sororities at school, but you would see it everywhere.

now in ireland it is a fun way to spot american students, along with north face jackets

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.
