    When I said that most fab is produced in China, I did mean it to mean it was inferior quality...I just meant it is a shame that we no longer produce fabric in mills here like we used to. Another thing we have to depend on another country to provide us with....I guess that is global economy 101.

    Btiks are typically made in Indonesia.

    Some q fabric is produced in Korea....better quality.

    Hi,
    I wanted to know if the material that is available on http://sportingnow.com/index.php?rou...formation_id=6 is quilted or not. The website only shows a picture of the fabric and does not mention anywhere if the fabric is quilted or not.

    I order from Vera Bradley online. There are 50% - 60% off sales, especially on the discontinued fabric bags. The workmanship and quality are excellent on every bag I have bought. The large duffle is a must have for me and makes great gifts for the hard to buy for girls and ladies. My grandaughter loves VB. It's really the in thing right now for high school girls in this area. As long as I can buy for half off I don't want to make a bag. I couldn't do as expertly made as they are.

    Not to be a downer, however, it is likely counterfeit.

    It probably is AUTHENTIC. I live in the city that Vera Bradley started in. The company was one of the largest emplyer in our city. A few years back the company decided to outsource to CHINA. Though there is still an large office here and a smaller production plant about 30 minutes south of our city, it was a huge blow to our economy.
