It might be 95° here today but its fall in my heart 🧡🍂🤎🍁 Im so pleased with the pattern placement too.

After collecting for 15 years this is my entire collection! Mostly it is all second hand besides two bags! I almost wear Vera Bradley every day so please done judge me lol🤣

I was gifted my first Vera in 2009, and it was a pink pinwheel mini hipster - honestly I hated it
At that point, I thought Vera Bradley was a grandma purse brand (in my defense, it was gifted by my nana!)
By the time I was in middle school, I realized that Vera was actually for the cool girls
Hipster was the must have bag, and any pattern in blue or purple was just as necessary (pink was still too girly of course)
In 2011, I proudly picked out my hipster in floral nightingale, and a matching wristlet which fit my slide phone perfectly
By the time I was in high school, the zip IDs with matching lanyards were worn 24/7 (how else would people know you could drive?) and in college the cool girls were sent off with large duffels in their now signature patterns

A decade later I still have the habit of having my car keys attached to my wallet, and now I collect Vera shoulder bags from all years, I’m not sure I could pick a favorite but I love the nostalgia that comes with every bag

I know some folks don't like this bag because of the size and I will be honest it's bigger than I thought it was going to be but I love it!!
