Christmas Gift Product Review
Review of: Vera Bradley Designs
You see them everywhere. Those trendy quilted purses, luggage, totes, carryalls for baby. It's likely most of them are from the internationally famous Vera Bradley Designs.
Started in 1982, when two friends came up with an idea for more feminine luggage, this dynamic company has grown and developed from one simple creative idea. To design unique products for women. To make their lives easier.
Though men are also on their list, their reach is to women who require easy to manage, sturdy accessories. Busy women. Who need purses and accessories large enough to accomodate their on-the-go needs. Even travelers.
Known for their unique quilted look, their collections always take your needs into consideration. Providing extra pockets (with simple zips or clips). To keep your must-haves within reach; easy to access. Plus sleek, flat straps to make carrying it in your hand, over your arm or sholder, comfortable.
Whether you're a student, or mother with a baby, their unique backpacks (double as a carry-all) make getting around campus, or the city with baby, easier and more relaxing. Plenty of room inside for books, baby changes & necessities. And a side pocket perfect for a cool beverage or baby bottle.
Here's just a sampling of their collections:
- Totes
- Handbags
- Luggage
- Carryalls for Mom and baby
- Backpacks
- Accessories
- Holiday gifts and ornaments
- And more.
It's safe to say they've thought of all your needs.
Pros:
- All fabric items can be washed.
- Clips, velcro and zips make for easy access.
- Colorful, trendy fabrics make your bag easy to spot.
- Some baby items are plastic lined for easy cleaning.
Cons:
- Though fabrics are lightweight, bags, totes & backpacks
can become very heavy depending on what you put in
them.
- We're assuming fabric is reasonably stain-resistent.
However saw no mention of it.
- Everything is made of colorful fabrics. Be sure you won't
outgrow the look or tire of it.
