Does anyone know where I can purchase Vera Bradley Handbags cheaper than the official website?

I have had a hard time finding the Vera Bradley at a discount other than ebay.

Thanks

I asked the same question over a month ago and received no response. There has to be a source, too many people sell on e-bay. Maybe someone will respond.

Thanks Susan for responding. You are right, I think there has to be too.

I would like one of the moderators to have some input on this one. Have you researched to find a source for Vera Bradley products? Thank you.

Yeah and I will bet any amount of money..the ones on Ebay are knock offs from China...Been on a few sites from China..selling Vera Bradley bags...Knock offs!

Ooops sorry that was me as Guest forgot to sign in...but back to that topic.....From what I understand...Vera Bradley is the same like Louis V.....they have full control where their products get shipped too... unlike other vendors like Prada and Gucci that are sold at many different stores... so chances are the ones on ebay are knock offs! hence why it's so hard to find a wholesaler...

If I found it I'll let you know

that is correct..they are knock offs..if you go directly to Vera site...here is the following message that is posted directly on their website...
