I have been making tote bags since Vera Bradley showed her first one. Wonder who now, actually does her work. Truthfully I'm not all that fond of her designs. Many are much to modern for me, but who am I?

What do guys know, my husband says they want like that and when it is made he thinks it's great. Give it to her she will love a nice gift like that.

I tend to agree with you, but I find that the fabrics she uses are all the rage. I didn't even know who Vera Bradley was until I prototyped a small item I was trying to develop and used some left over why-did-I-ever-buy-THAT! fabric. The ladies went nuts for it; everybody wanted it. That's when I took my first look at Vera Bradley. Interesting.

I like it!! I'd give it to her.

I think it's cute and that she'll really like it. You can always make her another anyway - it's always nice to have different purses to suit our moods, right?! :)

Younger girls like 'bling'. It is an 'original'.
I like it though, & I am much older.

I like it. What do men know anyway?

Do you have a scrap of the fabric left? I would leave a scrap of that and something else out the next time she comes over and tell her you are looking for a print for a table runner or something and ask her what she thinks of the fabrics. Just tell her you aren't quite sure what you think about them. Good Luck! Cute purse by the way. :)

I Love the fabric. Love it! I always surprise myself in that there are fabrics I would Never choose for a project, then I see the completed project and love the fabric. Anyway - I like this Style of purse, but the fabric makes it work for me. It is absolutely unique and would work with everything. Now I'll be keeping my eye out for it wherever I go. lol...

I agree that men probably wouldn't have a clue but like the idea of making another and letting your future DIL choose the one she likes best. If she picks this original one you can look at him with that look that says .. what do you know?

Yes, maybe give it to her for her birthday then follow it up with a different one at Christmas, if you want it to be a surprise, no use giving her a choice.

not much help am I?

They look fabulous to me. I'd love them for a gift.

Oh I love the fabric & the purse! Some men just aren't in to things like this so I wouldn't worry too much about his opinion.

I let my DD pick fabric for her quilt but not the pattern. She loves it ! I would leave out the fabric for her to see and get her reaction !

Everybody's taste are different. The son that said no way does not know the tastes of his future sister-in-law so do not feel bad. I am not a purse girl but I do like the purse and I would be happy to get a handmade purse from someone. Great job!!!!!!!

am not a fan of these bags but do like this one; if you think she may not like why go to the trouble of making another which may not be liked either ,so, why don't you give it and tell her she may have another in it's place and let her choose fabric.
