I was shopping with my Boston friend who also loves Vera Bradley purses. I told her that Marshalls and TJ Maxx are now carrying Vera Bradley stuff. She did not believe me, so I had to prove her wrong. We went to TJ Maxx and found this cute Vera Bradley purse perfect for spring. I was right, and she found herself a real bargain. The purse was regularly $63 and she got it for $9.99. You are lucky if you can get discontinued patterns online for half off the regular price. So, for those of you out there that like Vera Bradley purses as much as I do, check out TJ Maxx and Marshalls to see if you can get as lucky as my Boston friend. And if you don't like Vera Bradley, you will still find really great bargains on purses and other stuff at both Marshalls and TJ Maxx.
