Great for so many uses... zippered closure, it features softly quilted POSITIONABLE SHOULDER PADS on the handles -- for an extra-heavy load -- interior vinyl pockets at the ends, 4 outer pockets and 6 interior slip-in pockets... this is a re-make of the Super-Tote, but it is amazing!!!

Saddle Up My favorite... as I am already carrying one! 14 x 9-3/4 x 4 With an adjustable strap, this is just like the On The Go, except that it has a big magnetic flap closure, and is higher/deeper than the OTG. Because of the shape and the pretty corded decorations, this has quite a feminine line. There are actually two deep slip-in pockets on the front of this bag -- you'd never know! $68.00
Pleated Tote A larger bag... we LOVE this one! Pretty lines, it measures 14-3/4 x 14 x 5-1/4 with a 10-1/2 strap drop. Great pockets, very comfortable to wear over the shoulder, we are really impressed with this bag in the shop. Zip closure, slight dip in the center to help that shoulder fit a little. VERY pretty shape!!! Pleated Tote $80.00
Mini Hipster A DARLING little bag, this is one of my personal favorites, because it is small, has that skinny long handle, and can hold a surprising amount of things! Keys, credit cards, cell phone, lipstick, even a small day planner! Quite a surprising little piece! 6 x 8 x 1/2, The handle is 59 inches long. Great outside pockets, a discreet little bag! $45.00
Laptop Portfolio This is a FANTASTIC computer bag!!! I absolutely cannot say enough about this piece... because my big 17-inch VAIO fits in it!!! It features hard sides, and a padded interior to actually protect your machine. There is a removable Velcro bar that positions anywhere you want it to -- it makes the cavity smaller to hold smaller machines. Huge slip-in and zippered pockets on the outside, short rolled handle, separate heavy-duty 48-inch shoulder strap that detaches... it unzips all the way, so it opens to lay flat. 17 x 12 x 2-1/2 with a 3-1/2 inch strap drop. $82.00

So many places for storage, you'll forget what you put where!!! Does NOT look like a 'diaper bag'... so think about this one for other uses!!! 16 x 11-3/4 x 5-1/2. $99.00
Backpack Redesigned... the new style features a softer shape, larger back zip pocket, and new front flaps with magnetic closures. They moved the strap attachment, too, so it lays flatter on your back. 9-3/4 x 12-1/2 x 4-1/4, with 31-1/4 inch adjustable straps. Cute! $88.00
Garment Bag Much sleeker, better design... better hanging and carrying hardware. prettier front, my favorite part is that the whole inside zips completely open so you can really get everything in there flat and perfect!!!

Not too big and floppy, this will fit beautifully under the airplane seat! Double zippered closure. $94.00
Villager A classic VB tote bag... they re-designed the front flap a bit... but other than that... it features the same flat bottom, six inner pockets, and shoulder straps. I THINK that VB is getting away from the quilted straps that were soft, and wore quickly. These straps are thinner, but have a stiffener in them, so I think they're going to wear better than straps of old! 16 x 12-1/4 x 4 with a 11-3/4 strap drop. $72.00
On The Go A great bag, this is a cross between the Spectator and Carry All - the two recently retired pieces. Again, the 20-inch flat adjustable handle, this features a large exterior zipper compartment, two end pockets for phone and keys, three interior slip-in pockets, and a flat bottom with removable baseboard. Measuring approx 11 x 9 x 4-1/4... that 4 inches of space in the bottom really gives you a nice sized, roomy bag, without being fat and bulky at the top. The Hobo styling makes it relaxed. We really like this bag... especially after I stuffed it yesterday with display paper -- it took on a whole new personality, and two of the shop gals bought them! Available in every color. $65.00
Vera The Vera Bradley classic bag, has been in the line since the early days of the company, and looks great! The Vera features a nicely-sized zippered pocket on the back and a pouch on the front, the six interior pockets everybody loves, and a toggle closure that stays closed really well. 11-inch strap drop, interior key-clip, too! A flat bottom with a removable board (for laundering) that doesn't quite reach to each of the sides... gives the bag a bit more flexibility, and a graceful shape. Very well done, the Vera measures approx 19-1/2 x 15 x 6-1/4. It's a really nice sized bag, perfect for toting everything! $80.00 Named for Vera Bradley!
Tote A perennial favorite, this bag is a great value! Nicely sized at 11-3/4 x 13-1/2 x 4 with a 12-1/2 inch strap drop, the simple styling shows off the pretty fabric patterns so well. No exterior pockets -- adds to this bag's clean lines -- but inside you'll find three slip-ins. Tortoise toggle closure. $48.00
Miller Bag Holding TONS of stuff... this is one of our best selling pieces! Featuring a flat bottom with removable baseboard, six large interior pockets and a good-sized pocket on the front, it has plenty of room to store stitching! It has a nice long handle with a 13-inch drop, and a zippered closure top. 24 x 13-1/2 x 8. $85.00 Named for Vera Bradley co-founder Patricia Miller!
Small Duffel Featuring a zippered top closure and large end pocket, the Small Duffel features long straps with a 15-inch drop for shoulder carrying... a classic!
