Pencil, check! Notebook, check! Backpack, triple check! School is truly in session when the floral print totes are on almost every collegiette’s™ shoulder. With every turn you take, there it is. Yes, I am talking about how the Vera Bradley’s are now back in session and with a bang!
The Bradley is now conquering the backs of Rowan collegiettes™. The “Laptop Backpack” is flying off the shelves at a retail price of $99.00 (You could probably find it on ebay for much less than this). The accessory has plenty of pockets to place either your ipod or cellphone, with a 15-inch laptop compartment and even enough room to store your books and utensils.
“It’s a very cute print on the backpack, but the price is too expensive,” said Janielle Olivio, a Liberal Studies major.
Pretty much every girl on campus has one of the following: a wristlet, tote, backpack, or some fabulously floral combination of the three. No matter how you slice it, Vera Bradley seems to have somehow infiltrated the closets of the majority of women on Rowan’s campus. The university’s bookstore, which is affiliated with Barnes and Nobles, has a small selection of the floral print accessories.
Plenty of collegiettes™ have expressed that these school accessories are visibly attractive, but lack the strength in the material to undergo the notorious Glassboro rain or a snow day. Needless to say, the Bradley epidemic does not show signs of slowing down any time soon. So for those of you who aren’t the biggest Vera fans, I guess you’ll just have to grow accustomed to seeing plenty of color splashes and an overload of floral print on a daily basis.
