Vera Bradley Caffe Latte Tote Handbag

Totes, totes and more totes! A tote bag is probably the most useful and commonly used handbag in every girl’s collection. Why? Because of the large room capacity, it allows us women to cram everything we own in there. And let it be known, whether camping, going to the beach, to the park, shopping or the grocery, we women like to prepare for anything — so we bring everything! (Tee-hee!)

Ok, so today we’re going to chit chat about the new Vera Bradley Caffe Latte Tote Handbag. I chose this color because it’s time to get ready for fall ladies, so we need to BUY BUY BUY and SPEND SPEND SPEND!! It’s what we’re good at, right? And like mamma always says, “Never let a good talent go to waste!“

This year’s Vera Bradley Tote is a bit different. If you visit Vera Bradley’s Info page, then you might read a more emphatic version of the changes — but I’ll tell it to you straight… it’s basically the SAME BAG, only it costs a little more (maybe around $2.00 USD I think as opposed to last year.) So what’s all the hype about then? What changed? Well, there are some additional pockets on the inside. Before there was only one pocket, remember? Well now there’s three pockets. This might be a welcomed change for some, but as for me, it wasn’t a deal breaker.

Vera Bradley Caffe Latte Fall Color

Of course, the flavor of the bag has changed too, with 4 newly introduced Vera Bradley Fall Colors added into the mix, such as Caffe Latte, Puccini, Frankly Scarlet and Night Owl. Now I love all the all new fall colors, but for this Vera Bradley Tote, I was more drawn to the Caffe Latte color. The most obvious change (for me) was the tortoise shell toggle button. I absolutely, positively think this is the best button Vera Bradley could have ever placed on any of her bags! I adore this button — and yes, I know, it’s ONLY a button, however, that button really makes all the difference! Remember that other mundane button on the older Vera Bradley Tote bag? I never cared for it and it actually broke easily for me after owning the bag for a few months. I had to sow it back on again. But this tortoise shell button is strong and sturdy… it can handle more stress due to weight, not to mention it just looks better!

Vera Bradley Tortoise Shell Toggle Button

So there you have it. The same dimensions, just 2 more inside pockets and a newer (better) toggle button. Is it worth the extra $2.00? In my opinion, absolutely! The button will last much longer and it’s easier to open and close. You can find these bags on eBay right now for around $30.00 – $40.00… but you have to be patient.
