What's your Vera Bradley unpopular opinions/hot takes?

Mine: I NEVER wash my bags, and I get disappointed when I receive one that has clearly been washed. Washing just seems to compromise the structural integrity of many styles. If the bag can't stand up on its own, it's ruined to me.

Also, Cargo Slings and Carry Alls? Meh. The Maggie? Too small. Don't even get me STARTED on the Molly!

I caved...no regrets!

She is stunning! It's the style, not the pattern - I'm obsessed with the Hobo (old and new) atm and decided I just had to have her. Worth it! 🩷

First Maggie!

Just got my first Maggie. She's smaller than I thought she would be, but very cute! Not sure I will get more, need to live with her for a bit and see how I like the style.

Emily 💙

She just arrived, love her! In great condition, a little faded but I think it adds to her charm. Waiting for the cosmetic bag.

Display/Storage

Been working on displaying and storing my collection and I'm finally pretty much done. Picked up the small table from a consignment shop a couple of days ago, I love it so much.

Little Hipster

Love small hipsters when I want to travel light and keep my hands free and purse secure. Got the odd one out (Canterbury Cobalt) at a thrift store for $3.99, not sure of the official name, Google just calls it the hipster, lol.

Some of my collection

I started collecting about two and a half years ago, took a break for a while and started up again a couple of months ago. Here are some of my non-purse items, plus the tote that reignited my passion, found at a charity event for $5.00!

I feel like the hippest girl in town

😄 Sis dropped off my bucket tote and cosmetic bag. I bought these a couple years ago and they've been chilling at my sister's house for a bit. It's their time to shine!

Finally organized my undone puzzles!

Fall/Winter ones on the bottom shelf, the rest by mostly by piece count/brand. How do you organize yours?

Charmed in Salem, Mass. by Rachel Binford, Boardwalk, 1000 pcs

My first 1000 piece completed! Gift from one of my sisters, we love Salem. Came in a nice box, even has a separate bag for storage. Matte finish, great colors, lots of funky pieces. Only slight negative is it has a loose fit, but I can deal with that when everything else is perfect.

Pretty sure...

...this is a fake? Bought on Ebay and just received it. Didn't notice when I purchased it that it doesn't say Vera Bradley anywhere. The straps are too long, the material is thin and not as soft as VB. So bummed.

Don't shop in the middle of the night from your phone while half asleep kids!
