You think ones you see today are bad??

Does anyone remember the patterns from way back?

This should be a carpet, not a bag!

For the record though, I like some of the VB today... I LOVE her wallets and her bags are nice for a casual weekend.

I only like them as makeup and travel bags.

I have a large make up bag an small makeup bag that I use for the beach and an extra large garment bag and Duffel for lite travel.

IMO they are not to be used as an everyday handbag. But it is cute for my Grandma to use it for that.

OMG! LOL I have such a confession. I really dont know so much about designer things. SO I had to google the bags and I am hysterical!

I have seen these around and always referred to them as "carpet bags" and I always thought they were like from Target or something Chat Icon There were a few times when I saw a woman who was SO fashionable and I was always surprised to see that she was carrying some random noname bag!!!! I had no idea until just now!

I am hysterical! Chat Icon

My DH got me a Mia Bossi Diaper Bag for Mother's day!!!

How cute is he!!!

I LOVE her bags!!!

I got the last one you posted in black and tan.

But as far as Vera Bradely, I thought I was the only one who didn't care for them! It just not my taste at all.

No offense to anyone...

But I happen to like them...and I think calling them frumpy and old lady-ish is kind of offensive...just because they are not your style....

I like the premise behind them, I just wish they offered the line in more contemporary fabrics. I love paisley prints, but for whatever reason, I don't seem to like VB's.

So funny, most of the girls at my job have them and I want to like them (peer pressure lol!) but I don't!! I'm more of a one color leather girl.



I was going to say the same thing. I love bright colors and bold patterns but for some reason I just don't like these bags.
