I remember Augusts past, when I so looked forward to having that brand new, big, pink eraser, a fresh box of No. 2 pencils to sharpen, and a handful of blue Bic pens with un-chewed caps to take to school on that first day in a new grade level.
Yes, it’s time already to prepare for the return to school days! Here in Tennessee, it’s a tax-free weekend for select items, and we actually carry lots of things at the store that qualify.
This is the best time to pick out your new backpack or laptop bag from Vera Bradley ~ not only do we have the newest colors in stock in the latest bag designs, we also have a few retired patterns and styles on sale. Here are several examples of backpacks, computer bags, and lunch bags that qualify for tax exemption ~ but we have even more than I can show here. First, the newest colors:
- Very Berry Paisley Metropolitan Laptop Bag
- Small Backpack in Barcelona ~ & lots of other patterns!
- Cooler Lunch Bag in Hello Dahlia & Night and Day
Lunch Bunch Bag in Barcelona, Hello Dahlia, & Very Berry Paisley (they reinterpreted the colors for these bags)
Frill Lylas Backpack
This one looks like it would be virtually indestructible, and so easy to clean after being dragged around school all day.
We are also carrying a whole collection of coordinated binders, folders, notebooks, pens & pencils, and other supplies from the Vera Bradley line.
In our stores, we also offer plenty of fun t-shirts, cool shoes with interchangeable decorations that Velcro or snap into place, and more pens & pencils for back-to-school use.
While you’re out shopping for school this weekend, be sure to come by and add a little color to your fall!

P.S. Yes, I had to use that word fall! Just saying it makes me think it will be cooler again one day ..
