Vera Bradley Sophie Bag & Umbrella Review

I love Vera Bradley products! They are so feminine & sophisticated and you simply can’t go wrong with ANY of their stylish luggage, bags, & accessories.

“The Vera Bradley story is a testimony to the American Dream.
While on vacation in March of 1982, Patricia and Barbara were awaiting a flight in Atlanta when they noticed a definite lack of feminine-looking luggage. The longtime friends wasted no time in correcting this situation. Within weeks, these dynamic women had created a company, named after Barbara’s mother, capable of marketing and manufacturing their cleverly designed products. The demand for these unique handbags and luggage items has grown and so has Vera Bradley, which is now nationally and internationally recognized.

For over 20 years, Vera Bradley has had a loyal following of customers who not only look forward to our lovely new fabrics and styles that are introduced each season, but who also appreciate the function and quality that is synonymous with our name.”

Everybody needs a classy little bag like the Sophie in Watercolor.

“This petite bag boasts two wrap-around side pockets and four interior pockets. She’s small, mighty organized and ready for a trip to the store or an evening out.”

I go out with my girl friends several times a month and since I don’t have my kids with me, I don’t need a bag that has 7 interior pockets for everything except the kitchen sink. I need a simple bag that will hold my cell phone, my purse, my keys, & possibly some lip gloss. That’s all. The Sophie bag is perfect for those times. Plus, it is super cute & stylish & goes with several of my outfits. Its soft & sweet colors of purple, blue & gray will definitely bring on compliments.

Things that get Bragging Rights:

Zip closure
Two wrap-around side pockets
Four interior slip pockets
The ‘Sophie’ comes in several gorgeous fabric choices
Has a solid base
Machine Washable

What’s better than having a beautiful Vera Bradley bag to show off? How about having a matching umbrella?

“Onto every year, a little rain must fall. But who cares when your umbrella is this cute? One-touch opening and a coordinating sleeve make for rain protection perfection.”

I have needed a good umbrella for 3 years now…..ever since we moved to Indiana. I am so happy to have this umbrella in the pretty watercolor fabric. It’s so great because it opens & closes (yes, I said CLOSES) with the push of a button. How many times have you had your arms full trying to juggle two kids, a stroller, & a few shopping bags while trying to stay dry in the pouring rain? It’s nearly impossible to open an umbrella with all that happening, but now it’s not. And the fact that it closes with little effort is amazing! I LOVE it!

Things that are BRAG WORTHY:

One-touch open and close feature
Umbrella stores in wrap-around snap closure and coordinating sleeve
Shiny metal hardware and bungee wrist strap
Sleeve matches umbrella print
