Thrifty Treasures: Vera Bradley Purse
POSTED BY Amy at 11:03 AM
A long awaited purse...Vera Bradley. Every single time I see one of these, I want it. The patterns are so beautiful! Unfortunately, they cost a mint. I have been watching them on Ebay, but the prices were still a little too high for my taste.
Lucky for me, someone donated their purse to Goodwill and I was able to snatch it up for $8. It is about $6 more than I usually spend for a purse, but is definitely worth it! This one is such a pretty spring color.
My mother-in-law can make bags that look just like these, but has had a hard time finding the fabric. Anyone making bags like these that have a good resource for fabrics? I know she would appreciate the input!

"So- cool, I recently bought a Dooney and Bourke All Weather Leather small purse at a local thrift store for $3.99. I get a lot of compliments on it."

"Wow, that's a steal. Here in the South, you rarely find them at thrift stores b/c 1. people use them until they are worn out or 2. they sell them on ebay. :) Great find."

"I think that JoAnn's has fabric very similar to Vera Bradley's and I know that you can buy Vera Bradley fabric on ebay."

"oh gees. I wish I'd have known you'd wanted one. I sold tons of them at my garage sale in may for $5 or less a piece. My mom LOVES them and keeps buying them for me even though they just aren't my style.
I have a pink one that's just sitting in my basement. Do you want another one?
If you don't want it, maybe I'll have a free-giveaway-drawing for it on my blog. I need the traffic! LOL!"
