Got these at an annual charity sale. Purses five dollars each, three for the ID wallet.

How is everyone cleaning Thrifted finds? I scored this lot on shopGoodwill, and in general, my approach is to soak the bags in cold water in a basin with OxiClean and a little bit of detergent and then run through the wash (cold water) on a delicate cycle. I do feel like some of the older items especially if they have wear around the edges or straps don’t do well in the washing machine so I will just soak them and leave them to air dry. I am just wondering what approaches everyone else takes particularly for the really old items?

I bought this 100 bag at the thrift today, definitely an older bag (see the tag) does anyone know what this pattern is called and the year possibly?

End of the year is coming up very soon, we decided to get the girls teachers, paras and nurse a Vera tote! Besides the Pooh crossbody for one of the paras! They really are amazing and deserve a gift they can enjoy every day for school!! Did we do good?!

Vera Bradley outlet posted this on their Instagram story. I am super super SUPER for the Belle collection.

Help I cannot remember the name of this pattern😅

I noticed the blue one is a little bit bigger but it’s definitely a 100 bag! I’m curious if they made the one on the right side on the smaller side in that time frame!

Finally found my first Pinwheel Pink bag!! I love the colors so much!!

They wanted $30!!!!! For this. I started laughing in the store. It actually looks worse in person. Totally brown and discolored. I’m not jealous at all of all your thrift finds 💀

I am not sure if this is an on the go or if there is a smaller version of the on the go?

Can anyone tell me the style of this bag? I beleive the pattern is English meadow but not sure the style! I thrifted it!

Hello all! I don’t know very much about Vera Bradley items, so I figured I’d ask the experts! I found this mini purse style backpack at a local thrift store. I use it to carry my drawing supplies about and I’ve come to really love all the pockets and the practical aspect of being able to toss it in the wash when I inevitably get it dirty. I went looking online for a similar style but all the mini backpacks I see have an outer zipper instead of the magnetic flap. Did the company stop making this style? Or am I using the wrong search criteria? Any help is appreciated! :)

After being on this sub I decided to take a little trip to the goodwill and was so surprised when I stumbled on this little bag in the toy aisle and for only $8. Great condition just needs a good wash and lint rolling.

I’m obsessed!! mini duffles have my heart! 💗 which one is your fav?

The print is called Aloha Blooms. It fits perfectly under the seat on a plane. One side has a big outside pocket. The other side has the slot to fit over a suitcase handle. There are mesh inside pockets.
