Vera Bradley is having an outlet sale in Atlanta this weekend (Thursday, Friday & Saturda) at the Cobb Galleria.

I went yesterday and today and got a lot of bargains. Most items are 50% off, but some are more (today they had Villagers in all colors for $26). They keep marking things down throughout the show, so there should be some awesome deals by tomorrow. Most of what is left is the colors that retired in July (Citrus, Hope Toile, Nantucket Navy & Bermuda Blue) anbd some of the January retired colors, but they had current colors in some of the styles (especially those that retired in July -- Villager, Molly, Toggle Tote).

If you are in the area and can deal with the crowds -- they are HUGE, but everyone I saw was nice and well behaved -- it's very much worth it to go. I've been twice and can NOT go again (DH will kill me, although I've got most of my Christmas shopping done now).

What exactly is Vera Bradley? Is it a regional thing? I have never heard of them before (I am in California)

It's a midwestern company that's based in Fort Wayne, Indiana that has taken the US by storm! Any kind of bag you can possibly think of, they make with a quilted pattern in pretty, funky, and well made fabrics. The baby bags (diaper bags) are normally $92 but you can pick them up at the outlet sale for as low as $28. There were microfiber items for 90% off this year (the lowest prices I have ever seen in the "Fort"). This year, they decided to give other markets a "taste" of the annual outlet sales Fort Wayne is used to. Fort Wayne is famous for pulling people from all over the world to this sale! There is a no-ebay policy but people generally buy for Christmas. We are blessed because it comes right before Mother's day and for the last six years I have been going, the mothers in my life get vera bradley! Hope this helps!

Do you think there would be any selection left, since it is the last day? And what time are they open until? Where do I get directions?
Thanks for the post.

It's at the Cobb Galleria. I think there will be plenty left and the prices should be even better!
