I like yours the most of the most recent print class.

IndianaSigKap - I love our print too! I have the tote and the scarf with me on a business trip. I like that they are something I might pick out and carry just because they're pretty, and they also happen to have our letters on them.

I like Alpha Delta Pi's, although I don't own anything in it because it's a bit pricey. I'll probably get the phone case, though.

I think Pi Phi's is my favorite out of all of the prints. I like Kappa Delta's, too.

I like our print too...a very subtle design. I have the cell phone case and the small wristlet. Wish they would bring back the traveler tote.

After the World Wildlife Fund print, I was scared our print would be a hot mess. But I was pleasantly surprised, AND the print fit perfectly into my (relatively) new found love of pink

I really like the ADPi print but the one I love the most is Chi O's pattern. I've seen the bracelets in person and for $48 they were underwhelming. The print is somewhat small so it will just look like a plain bracelet unless someone really looks. I was thinking about buying one but now that i've seen it, it's not worth the price.

I used to work in the fabric industry (home furnishings/fashion,) so FWIW, here are my thoughts. I don't think that LP is going to be competely oblivious to wider trends going on, and may (at least in part) pick GLO's whose colors harmonize with those trends.

AGD -- I think AGD is a lock because their colors will be very prominent this spring. You will see them everywhere, in fashion, swimwear, etc. So those AGD totes, scarves, etc. will hold an even more special appeal. I feel certain that LP in general will be right in line with the trend.

ZTA -- Very likely, not only due to the national strength of the org, particularly in the south, but also because their grey and turquoise colors will be prominent in the fashion world (keeping in mind that the ZTA turquoise will likely take on a more greenish cast.) I would expect to see their pattern have two shades of grey (lighter/darker) along with the greenish turquoise perhaps blended with the more blue turquoise. LP might use a very small amount of a brighter color (yellow?) as an accent if ZTA doesn't object.

AXO -- much tougher due to their deeper tones. AXO has a lot of national strength, so if LP goes in this direction, then they will really have to rework the colors to lighten up the overall effect. I feel a lot less confidence in AXO than I do in AGD (which I think is as close to a sure thing as you can get.) Ditto ASA.

GPB -- I could see this happening. A light linen pink will be very popular this spring, and a light brown will be seen as well, although not as prominently. So I would expect to see GPB's pattern have mode and linen pink with brown and a darker pink as accents. The fabric designer might want to cut some white or cream in there as well. I think that LP could come up with a very pretty pattern for GPB.

Tri-Sigma -- if Tri-Sigma doesn't object to blending in pink and amethyst with their royal purple, I could see this happening.

Phi Sigma Sigma -- their colors are right in line with trends (you could say the same for Theta Phi Alpha.)

AST, AEPhi -- their colors are not really in line with trends, but are bread-and-butter for LP, so either might be included for that reason.

So my best guess -- AGD, Zeta, GPB, Tri Sigma, Phi Sigma Sigma with perhaps AST or AEPhi as an alternate. I think that LP will save AXO, ASA, and the other sororities for later cycles.

And my bets are on AXO, GPhiB, ZTA, AGD and Tri Sig (Cause they are the longest standing members of the NPC without prints).

For some reason, I have a feeling Alpha Epsilon Phi will be next as their colors work well with the Lilly palette. I don't think Theta Phi Alpha and Phi Sigma Sigma will come out in the same group since we have similar colors, it will probably be one or the other. Same with Alpha Chi Omega and Alpha Gamma Delta. If my wish isn't granted with the next print class, at least I have something to hold me over until our turn comes .

Glittergal1985, where did you find this? I'm trying to find more Phi Mu Vineyard Vines totes to replace my one tote that got ruined. I can get one with chocolate handles but, I want navy handles.

My chapter contacted VV and they designed this print for us so we can place a group order. If you can get your chapter/alum association to order with you (the minimum is 40) you could probably get the tote in navy.

That's cool! No, I already own the tote. They sell the Phi Mu VV bags on our Carnation Collection but, the one that I got a while ago with the blue handles is no longer on the site. It is one of my favorite bags and I want to replace it. That's cool that they made it for your chapter. You should see if your national HQ will actually offer it on their website. It's a cute bag so, I hope you post a picture of it when you get it. I will try to post a picture of my Phi Mu VV bag.

I was so thrilled to see them using my beloved compass (FINALLY! Alexandra & Co. ALWAYS ignores the compass! ), I literally said "yippee" out loud.

Where did you find this? Is this the final print for sure, or just one of several options? Do you know when it will be available?

Thanks so much for posting it!
