I just added a new category for the Vera Bradley Mimi Backpacks on the Discount Fabric Handbags store, and it got me thinking about how much I miss the one I used to have. As a matter of fact, I even have a vivid memory of finding out that the style was retiring (I guess I was a little too attached!)...
My oldest son is now ten, but when he was just a little guy, we would have weekly playdates with his friend Cassidy. During the summer, Cassidy's mom and I would meet at the zoo here in Fort Wayne every Friday. We would load up our Mimi backpacks with water bottles and Teddy Grahams, cover the kids in sunscreen, and go and spend a good couple of hours with the monkeys and zebras.
It was during one of these Friday outings that Cassidy's mom informed me that our favorite backpack line was joining the ranks of discontinued Vera Bradley products. It may seem superficial to some, but we were mutually bummed over the news!
Unfortunately, the bag I took on all those weekly zoo trips eventually wore out and ended up in the Goodwill box. Cassidy's mom and I also lost touch, as our kids grew and their maturing interests consumed our schedules. However, any time I see a Vera Bradley Mimi backpack (and they are still around, believe it or not), I think of those zoo trips - and fondly remember the good times we had with Cassidy and her mom.
