Spring 2012: Ellie Blue

Elephants on parade … Our week of sneak peeks marches on with the inspiration behind the rich shades of Ellie Blue, provided by our favorite commentator, Liz of Liz on Location.

Ellie Blue

“Explore the exotic nuances of an Indian market through traditional indigo textiles accented by the golden tints of the desert.  Imagine a land where alluring beasts roam free, becoming one with the natives, and a mystical nirvana exists among the locals.

Ellie Blue

Our hope was that this pattern would evoke the feeling of strolling through a distant marketplace; feeling the lush textiles and taking in the rich, bold dyes. The presence of the awe-inspiring elephant only heightens this sense of intrigue and whimsy.”

I recently fell in love with the watercolor print and have it in a book bag, wallet, purse, and duffel. I have Vera Bradley everything flip flops, laptop skin and so much more. Unfortunately i got involved with Vera after the pink and black elephant print was discontinued. I was so upset because i LOVE elephants, i even have a small elephant tattoo. If i was to receive this tote it would be the first of many items added to my collection of this print.

  350. Sharon Heaps says:

    The blend of yellow and blue is one of my top two favorite color combinations (besides pink and brown!) I love the nice mix of vibrant blue and a softer and much paler blue….that incorporates the fun pop of yellow in!

    The best part of this color pattern is definitely the elephants! All of my children have received a stuffed elephant when born with it’s trunk lifted up as this is indicating good luck! My oldest daughter is graduating high school this year and this would make an amazing gift of luck for her!

    Great job VB!

  682. Melinda says:

    Ellie Blue, reminds me of that first feeling of summer, the sun is gold but the water still a little chilly and looking out to sea, all your can see is the deep blue that goes on for miles. All the flowers are in full bloom, contrasting against the grass, so they’re hard to miss. The bag even captures the little clover like flowers which spring up in the grass .. and the dots and whispy design carries all of natures flying creatures, down to hang out among the flowers.

    I love Ellie Blue, it reminds me of growing up in an Australian summer 🙂 It combines my childhood playground with my adult tastes and individuality .. in an amazing new collection which shows I’m bold, bright, and love the style!

  683. Sarah McCan says:

    I received a Vera Bradley bag and wallet for Christmas and had my 2 grand-daughters both wanting me to give to them. Young to old – everyone loves anything Vera Bradley. Good quality and colors are beautifull!!

  1048. Wanda Bakke says:

    My blan wardrobe is comfortable on the farm and so are my work scrubs. To feel like ” fitting in” when I roadtrip on a rare vacation to former hometown or a stayover with grandkids I travel and shop proudly totes in hand. Great thing about Vera Bradley is that it does not have to match, my assortment puts me in the rank of a long time collector. Gotta be doing something right because when folks see 3 generations of us gals about in public we get a lot of thumbs up and newfound friends. YES, I admit it even a elder farm grandma and gradeschool -to college girl can bond over some issues in style (ours happens to be pure americana classic). The Vera Bradley is for all ages, something sweet is everyone wants a new fabric pattern but nobody wants to part with the retired pieces in a trade. Gotta love it, always have and always will.

  1049. Dana G. says:

    Classy and fun. I love it!

  1050. Chris says:

    Nice pattern, it would look great with my spring wardrobe!

    A beautiful design nonetheless!

  1060. Nicole Vargas says:

    ooooh! my old High School colors! I like this one!

  1061. Abbey Goff says:

    I’ve already got alluring beasts roaming free aka my two children, now I just need this bag to provide the mystical nirvana =)

  1062. Rhonda More says:

    I didn’t notice the elephants until I looked really hard after reading some of the posts. It is so pretty. Would love to have this one too. It is so hard to decide which is my favorite, I just want them all.

  1063. Beth Wingate says:

    My daughter and I both vote for this as our favorite of the four new patterns. Reminds us of Yellow Bird, the discontinued, “unofficial” Vera Bradley pattern of her Paul VI High School!

  1064. Lisa says:

    Of all the spring colors from Vera Bradley I absolutely love this one the most! The vibrant blues, yellows and almost gold colors jump out at me and say spring is here. This is a must have color….
