I dont even carry a purse. When I was in Michigan a few years ago I heard a lady call herself a pocket shopper. I guess thats what I am. My mother very seldom carried a purse. Last time when we were in Michigan my DH brought a purse in DD house and asked whose it was. It was one I out of my deceased DM things. I had takens it along but I never took it out of the trunk while we were there. He thought it was DDs. I remember a long time ago I had bought a purse probably at a thrift store and I walked into my in-laws house and my FIL said just think how much more money you would have if you hadn't bought that. I could never wear one with a shoulder strap. I used to very big busted and I even have a groove on my shoulder from my bra staps. The strap would never stay up on my shoulder though and still doesn't. That might be another reason I don't carry a purse.

Demi, I don't like their current "Mod" (flower) prints at ALL. They're just too loud. Have you gone to the website and looked at their retired colors/prints? Maybe they'll change back because..... Several years ago I was frustrated because VB added NO zippered pockets to their purses. So I emailed them saying "Women need zippered pockets." I swear a year later the purses all had zippered pockets, inside and out! Last year I emailed them saying "The new mod prints are a bit too loud for older women." :) I don't mind the loud prints for my totes, etc., but not for my purses. VB's things are so well made they'll last forever.

Mrsmarv, I get their emails. They're having a great summer sale now, except the fabric I ordered for my purse wasn't on sale. :( ks, I like the Bella bags but they're just too small in width for me. If they were just an inch or two wider I would have bought one. I am SO picky. lol. So I caved and bought myself an early birthday present.
