What a curious bag is the Vera Bradley Saddle Up. It’s got the saddle shape we expect from an equestrian bags, but there’s nothing horsey about Vera Bradley’s signature prints! The designer’s trademark florals and paisley patterns seem a curious match for that distinctive shape, but they’re also undeniably Vera Bradley. Those prints are not as fashion forward as so many we see, but that’s exactly why Vera Bradley fans love them.
Even if you don’t like the pattern, it’s hard not to appreciate the design. Vera Bradley has really thought of everything; this medium sized bag is packed with features. Such a busy print doesn’t need any further distractions, so all the pockets are kept hidden away. Inside you’ll find three slip pockets and a zippered compartment. But we’re not done yet; Vera Bradley has also buried two more pockets under the flap!
The long shoulder strap is skinnier than I’d like, but on the plus side it’s fully adjustable. Keep it short to use the Saddle Up as a shoulder bag, or extend it to wear it cross-body style.
If you’re not a Vera Bradley fan already, this purse isn’t likely to change your mind. But if you do have a soft spot for the designer’s practical and pretty purses, this might find a place in your collection.
