Growing up in Indiana, I had seen a variety of people carrying around quilted accessories. I never thought it was a fashion statement but something that people where. I always find it amusing when I see people carrying quilted weekenders when I am heading to Penn Station. That being said, they are definitely a cute item to have (although I have nothing quilted within my accessories assortment). Interestingly enough, I came across the super cute site - Vera Bradley, where you could find all your quilted items! This messenger bag is very cute and like many of her pieces, you can get the same style in a variety of patterns. My favorite pattern is the Yellow Messenger. I love the fun yellow bird against a classic background. These bags are perfect to tote wherever needed and will definitely let you be noticed as you go from place to place. If you're all set with the messenger bag, find out more items that you can stock up on!
