Here are some pictures that I took at the 2008 Spring Vera Bradley Outlet Sale in Fort Wayne...
This is a picture of the Allen County Memorial Coliseum,
the venue for this year's sale.
This is just one of many aisles of discount Vera Bradley
products. Enough for everyone!
Piles and piles of Vera Bradley bags - all on sale!
Don't you just love the Vera Bradley Capri Melon...
Checking out at the sale wasn't too bad -
there were sixty registers in all!

No, unfortunately I didn’t. They did have placemats, which I know a lot of people use for crafting…

40% off retial prices found in store?
Hi Holly,
Most items usually start around 40% off of the retail price found in the stores, and then get marked down even more as the sale progresses…
I went to the sale on Thursday morning and was so excited about the deals only to be angry later that evening to get an email from vera bradley stating news about further markdowns. I got the curvy tote which retails for 62.00 for only 20.00 but the markdowns for Friday say they are now 10.00 – I did not realize they continue to mark down through the week. What is the selection usually like on Sunday? anybody? Also thought the hope grows apparel was beautiful.
Hi Nicole,
If it’s any consolation, the curvy totes were going fast. It was hard to even get close to the table. One of the worker set down a pile of thirty pinwheel pink totes, and within less than a minute, they were all gone! I have never went on Sunday (usually broke by then), but the selection is usually decent still on Saturdays, although there are not as many prints available. I agree with you – the Hope Grows apparel is beautiful.
I was wondering if there is going to be a fall sale this year? Does anyone know? Thank you in advance.
I went on Sat and Sun There was basically the same thing both days, most things were not any cheaper on Sun than they were on Sun, only a few dollars less for backpacks, most everything was the same pattern
I am looking for a Botanica Garment Bag, have been looking on the web,
any suggestions. Thanks!!
Hi Susan, I checked both ebay and Amazon, and did not come across one in the Botanica print. If I were you, I would keep an eye on these sites, and maybe even email some of the eBay powersellers, to try to track it down.
Thanks Dawn!!
Did they have any new patterns such as purple punch? If so what pieces and how much were they?
does anyone know if there will be a fall warehouse sale?
They have not announced any dates for a fall outlet sale. As soon as I hear anything about one, I will post the information here on my blog…
I don’t know when the above pictures were taken nor when the author went to the sale, but I attended last year on Saturday (the second to the last day).
My friend and I waited at least an hour to get in, then at least 2 hours to check out through a line that weaved back and forth. All of the staff were very friendly, but I have never waited in lines this long..not even at Disney World!!!
Do you have an outlet in florida,I live near saint augustine.
can’t wait for the sale! we are doing a girls weekend. does anyone know of other “cute” shopping spots in the area?
So glad you’re coming to the sale! There are actually some great shopping spots in Fort Wayne. The sale is held just a couple of miles down the road from Glenbrook Mall – it’s a huge indoor mall with two floors and lots of places to shop. There is also a large outdoor mall located on the southwest side of town called Jefferson Pointe. In past years, the Vera Bradley company had shuttles that ran back and forth between Jefferson Pointe and the Memorial Coliseum. Vera Bradley has a beautiful store at Jefferson Pointe, and it’s a great mall to visit, especially if the weather is nice (always a toss up in April). If you do go to Jefferson Pointe, make sure you also check out the DeBrand’s chocolate shop – yum!
Hi Catherine,
At this time, I think there is only an outlet store in Illinois – not sure if they will be adding any more. They also have a big warehouse sale in Fort Wayne, Indiana, in April (that’s where these pictures were taken).
