Vera Bradley Backpacks Are Not Just For School

So the hunt begins for a Vera Bradley backpack.  Whether it's for school or not, a stylish backpack is hard to come by.  Most of the backpacks out there are either way to "kiddish" or just so bland and boring that you might as well carry your books in a paper bag.  You are probably also looking for a backpack that will not cost over $100 and when looking for style that can be a difficult task as well.

Well if you are tired of looking around at garage sales and thrift stores for a nice backpack then maybe it's time you think about a Vera Bradley bag.  The versatility of these bags is so great that you can use them for books or as a hip new purse.  I know a woman who would use her Vera backsack as a purse everywhere she went and she loved it.  You don't have to worry about things falling out and you can still carry all of your personal belongings.

There are many different patterns the bags come in as well.  So whether you are more of a prissy girl who loves pinks and purples you have the Raspberry Fizz, Pinwheel Pink or the new Purple Punch pattern coming out.  And if you like some of the more masculine colors like dark blue's and deep greens, you will love the Java Blue and Windsor Navy patterns Vera has.  Riviera Blue is also a great pattern that is more of a lighter blue with a uniform little pattern.  Personally, I like the backpack that comes in the Kensington pattern.  It's more of a brown paisely look and it blends well with everything.

Maybe you like to stay up late at night, then a Night Owl patterned bag would be perfect for you.  It is one of the new patterns for the fall of 2008, but it will be popular for a long time.  With all the new patterns coming out on a regular basis it's hard to not find a pattern you will just love and want to wear all the time.  You can always mix and match your Vera Bradley bags and accessories too, and that makes buying these patterns a lot of fun.

So even if you are done with school, I am sure you will find a practical use for a Vera backpack or backsack.  It's only a question of what kind of design will you get on it.  You might be worried about taking it to school because you don't want it to get dirty, but all Vera bags are machine washable so you can have it looking as good as new in no time even if you do spill a little something on there.
