Vera Bradley Bingo in Allamuchy

Does anyone know anything about this? I've had 2 people mention it to me but didn't know the specifics. The only thing I know is that it's sometime in October and around $30.00 for 25 games. Hoping someone on her may know more than that.
Thanks

She's a designer of "luxury" quilted fabric bags.

Oh, thanks. No wonder I never heard of her, designer bags aren't my thing :0)

They're really not luxury, they're quilted bags, in different prints and nicely made. You can wash them in the machine and they last forever. I guess it depends on your definition of luxury, I think they're nice and when you find them on sale, you can pay close to what you would get one in Kohls for. I will give you that they're not $9.99 K-Mart (not that there's a thing wrong with that), but they are a far ways from Coach, Juicy, etc.

I guess my definition is different, lol. I just think they're a little over-priced for what they are. I can spend the same amount (or less) and get a well-made leather bag. That being said, yes, you can find them on sale and in consignment stores for a more reasonable price.

In case you want to take a peek Calico, they're not for everyone.

What brand of well made leather bags do you get in a $60.00 price range? I'm always looking for a bargain in bags. I tend to go towards anything NineWest in Kohls.

Clarks in the Shopps at Saucon Valley makes great leather bags (with coupons they send me in the mail), Marshalls/TJ Maxx, Chaps at Kohls (with a coupon).

'Course, I'll take a Vera Bradley Bag as a gift anytime!! Ha!

I will have to look for them. Is Clarks the name on them, I found lots of shoes, laptop cases but only one pocketbook. The one I saw was very nice though and bidding started at $40.00

I just can't get into the Vera Bradley bags... I think they look really cute on others, but I guess they just don't mesh with my style. I'll take a black leather bag over that anyday. :)

The Clarks actual store is different from the website. I recommend going to that shopping area on a nice day. It's easy to get to and they have lots of nice places to eat. But I digress...

Heather,
I'm with you. They look adorable on others, but aren't for me. Right now I'm into B. Makowski bags, thank God they're available at TJ Maxx & Marshalls, and even if I get one from there it will be for a very special occasion!

I love to shop (when I have money, LOL), I've never heard of Saucon Valley, please digress some more.

There is a store in Byram, Frogmore something, that sells Vera bags, and often has sales/promotions. Last year I got a few as gifts at great prices, and even ended up with a free one.

Thanks for the link to the mall, looks pretty good. My dd and I love to go to different places to walk around and window shop (and treat ourselves to something, even if it's little). Will definitely go there between now and the holidays, thanks again. Lori, I've heard Frogmore's has been the place to shop for Vera. I got my first one last year for Christmas and love it. DD never liked them, now all of a sudden has to have the overnight bag.

Thanks for the link I am going to a baby shower and I think I will get one and fill it with baby items. My daughter in law has a few and loves them for everyday especially with kids snacks. They wash up great and are very popular. Hey maybe I need one also. Well thanks again for the link.

I went to Frogsmore on Saturday, and they had some Vera Bradley specials. The usual 20% off the pattern of the month (purple), and 25% of discontinued patterns. They also had a few that were 50%. Might be worth a look :)
