Date: 11/26/11 6:32 PM I live in VB country and do not know what they do with leftovers, but here you can go to any garage sale and find bags cheap, even in GW!
You should come to the twice/yearly coliseum sales where they sell things 75% off--it's nuts!
The fabric is all trademarked, of course (they won a lawsuit against Target's Mizhrai for copying) so I think they wouldn't sell, even tho they must have huge runs now that they are into home decor too. |

Date: 11/27/11 3:54 PM There's a clearance-style fabric shop near me that often have Vera Bradley fabric by the metre fairly cheap. I didn't know about the bags when I first saw it, I just wondered why this crazy fabric had her name all over it. I've still never seen the bags for sale, but this shop regularly has the fabric.
So I guess that the factory sell their overruns outside the US. |

Date: 11/28/11 0:31 AM GJ's in Brunswick, Belinda. They don't always have it, but over the years I've seen quite a few different designs come through. It is usually on the second level - among the remnant bolts, although sometimes the marked-down patchwork-style fabrics are up on the third level now, so check there too. |
