Don't want to wait until January 19th to get your hands on the new Vera Bradley colors? Well, you can order them from Zappos.com now! I can't believe they are already available, Vera Bradley is usually pretty strict about their release dates. Check it out here to see what is available in Island Blooms! You can also search the other colors on their site.
Thanks to the reader who sent this in!
Oh no, I am in trouble! Ellie Blues is going to be my new obession! I wish they would quit making patterns with my fave animal on them- it is killing my bank account ;)
ReplyDeleteNot to incite a riot, but a few months back there were rumblings that the pleated tote was going away :( Any updates?! Would it be restyled or retired all together? Is the Go-Round tote similiar? Any opinions on the Go-Round ladies?
Anyway, thanks Alison for running a great blog! Keep up the great work!
Yes, please tell us the status of the pleated tote. Also, is it a great tote to have? I am curious if the straps are too short/long and is it comfortable to carry? The last thing I want is a huge tote! - Sarah
ReplyDeleteHi Sarah,
ReplyDeleteI got a pleated tote in Paprika a few years back (when Paprika first came out) and never really used it until this fall when my BF and I went to Florida for the UF/Alabama football game (Go Gators!) and I am officially obsessed with it! It is quite deceiving as it holds more than it looks like it would. But perhaps the best parts of the PT are the straps and the strap drop-- they are very, very, very comfortable and I was loaded down in the airport (you know how boys roll; asking us to hold all of their stuff too!). The bag fit perfectly to my side. LOVE, LOVE, LOVE the Pleated Tote!
If they are discontinuing the PT, I am going to hope really, really, really hard that there will be a lot of them at the VB Outlet Sale in April!
You can also just go to this link and see all the "New Arrivals" for Vera Bradley, which is all the items in the spring patterns.
ReplyDeleteYes, it is true they are retiring the Pleated Tote. I havent heard if they are planning on restyling it or not, so I would plan on it not being around. I thought that I posted that, but I might have just mentioned it in comments on another post or on Facebook. Stock up now would be my advice!
ReplyDeleteI think they took the new VB down... Cant see it now :(
ReplyDeleteIt has been removed - I can't see it either! I was pretty sure as soon as VB got wind of it, it would be gone. Wonder what will happen to the orders that were placed?
ReplyDeleteI was SO excited to see this post! I placed an order for the Ellie Blue Mandy around 1:30 EST today and it went through fine. When I saw that the new patterns had since been taken down, I called Zappos right away to see what the status of my order was. My order was processed and will ship out tomorrow! Zappos has excellent customer service, and it's great to hear that they are honoring the purchases that people had already made.
ReplyDeleteI love this blog! Thank you, Alison, for sharing all the information that you get with us!

I had a feeling that wouldn't last long. So glad you will get your order Courtney!
ReplyDeleteBoth Island Blooms and Ellie Blue are still available on Zappos as of 5 minutes ago.
ReplyDeletezappos took the new patterns off. i just checked.
ReplyDeleteAll I know is that my Large Duffel in Ellie Blue is arriving from Zappos tomorrow and it feels like Christmas all over again! :)
ReplyDeleteI have owned the pleated tote in four colors. It is the perfect size and arrangement of pockets for me. If they discontinue it, I will cry. I was planning to buy it in Island Blooms too.
