Vera Bradley Luggage
by Maxine Greco
What is the prettiest
luggage available today? Without question, the prettiest luggage is
Vera
Bradley by Ricardo of Beverly Hills.
This luggage for women is
available in fashion forward quilted colors from Vera Bradley's newest
collection. There's a Signature red print, a Signature navy blue print,
a
Signature solid black quilted, and a Java blue print. Fabrics are made
of an
abrasion tested, tightly woven micro PolyCord. The interior fabric,
which
complements but does not match the exterior print, is 100% quilted
cotton.
The exterior fabric is
coated in Dupont Teflon for extra protection against soiling and
staining. This
luggage can withstand all the rigors of airline, bus, train and boat
travel.
Vera Bradley luggage is not
just "another pretty face." The side bound construction is sturdy
Bengaline piping, which protects corners, zippers and edges. The
in-line skate
wheel system has industrial strength steel ball bearing for quiet and
effortless
effort in pulling or pushing when full.
Pack Your Checked Luggage Like A Pro
by Shirley Florence

You've undoubtedly seen or read all about the new restrictions
on
carry on luggage, but what about your checked baggage? With stricter
airline policies, airlines are enforcing their checked luggage policies
more consistently. Be aware of what limitations your airline has for
checked bags so you won't be surprised at check-in. Here are some
packing tips to help you pack checked luggage like a pro. ..Learn More
Zippers are travel tested to
stand up to rigorous use, yet they provide smooth and quiet operation.
The
hardware is highly polished chrome and many of the zipper pulls have
Vera's
signature tape pulls.
The luggage is also
lightweight in keeping with all of the new airline requirements and
restrictions. The 21" "WheelAboard" carry on case weights less
than
10
lbs.
All of the
Pullmans
have a two-compartment construction with a patented floating divider
that
allows you to hang jackets or dresses or use the compartment to
separate
different types of clothing. The
Pullmans
also include a matching shoe case to protect your clothes.
There is a rolling wardrobe
carrier available as part of the collection. The case hangs from double
over-the-door hooks for ease of packing and use. No need to unpack this
case
either. There's a pocket for everything, with removable see-through
pockets for
cosmetics and other essentials. There's a padded extender panel for
longer garments.
Virtually any hanger type will lock securely in place on the "Wally
clamp" inside the bag. There are six mesh pockets which hold folded
clothes and accessories. For shorter trips, there's a 48" long folding
garment carrier without wheels. This is an ideal size for weekends or
shorter
trips.
Two of the most popular
pieces available are the rolling tote and rolling duffle. The Vera
Bradley tote
will attach to the top of any of the
Pullman
pieces allowing you to roll just "one set." It has multi pockets
inside and is the perfect size to carry on a tour when they require a
17"
size. It has extra zippered pockets, which are handy for jewelry,
glasses and
all of those important papers. The rolling duffle is totally soft, but
with the
added feature of wheels. This will roll easily down an airplane aisle,
fit
virtually anywhere because of the soft construction, and is the weekend
piece
of choice with many women both young and old. It also has zippered
pockets on
the outside as well as the inside and is very lightweight.
Vera Bradley luggage also
has a lifetime-limited warranty that the product is free from defects
in
material and workmanship.
