I Used My New Vera Bradley Bags Last Week

Last week I flew out of town to a Harry Potter event that had hundreds of like-minded fans. It wasn’t my intention to show off my Vera Bradley bags but that’s exactly what I ended up doing because I brought my new purses with me.

Traveling with the right kind of bags is important, something I learned years ago, so I chose which ones I took with me with care. Having said that, it wasn’t really a difficult decision to choose three of my Vera Bradley purses.

On the first day I wore a burgundy shirt with black pants, so I chose my my Forbidden Forest Triple Zip Hipster bag. Honestly, I hadn’t considered matching my purse to my clothes when I packed for my trip but that morning I realized that I should do exactly that. The blue of the purse looked great with the burgundy and black of my outfit.

The event that I was at required a lot of time spent waiting in lines so I got to know many of the people standing with and near me. I’m not sure how many people commented on my purse that day but it was quite a few. As I said above, I had my triple zip hipster with me and I also had the Forbidden Forest all-in-one RFID wallet inside it. I was happy to show them to whoever asked to see them up close.

On the second day of the event, I wore the previous design, the Herbology crossbody sling bag. It was something that I bought on eBay specifically for the event (before I knew that the Forbidden Forest design was coming out literally days after I bought my Herbology purse). I liked the size and shape of the purse and hoped that it would be good for traveling. It turns out that it was perfect.

Sadly, I don’t have a picture of that day or of me with this purse, but I was able to hold everything that I needed for that day, which included a large bottle of water, a lot of snacks, my cell phone (there is a pocket just for cell phones), and a few other odds and ends.

The Herbology crossbody was bigger than my triple zip hipster purse, which is why I chose it because on the second day I needed to have a few more things with me. Just like the first day, my Herbology Vera Bradley purse attracted a lot of attention from fans of Harry Potter. Again, I was happy to let people see it and tell them how much I’ve fallen in love with these bags. I have discovered that they are very thoughtfully designed with a lot of pockets and the layout of the bags

Do you have any of the Vera Bradley Harry Potter (or Disney) inspired purses? If so, what do you like best about them? For me, it’s the huge selection of bag styles and all the pockets for keeping your contents organized, followed closely by the designs.
