Is there an "it" bag on college campuses?
My cousin is graduating from HS this year and will be the second one in my family attending a 4 year college.
So I'd like to get her something nice for graduation and I was thinking of getting her a bag to carry her books.
When I was in college Kate Spade was "the" bag to have (you know those black boxy ones?).
Is there a bag of the moment now?
I feel like an out of touch old lady for asking this question.
Re: Is there an "it" bag on college campuses?
I don't know this kid or this monkey, but their side-eyes are strong.

Yep. It was 100000% Vera when I was in college.
Girls even had their sorority tshirts with the Greek letters in Vera prints to match their bags.
I second this.
I'm in grad school now, and 80% of my classmates have come straight from undergrad (wanna talk about feeling like an old lady? lol) and I'm on an undergrad campus. There doesn't seem to be any consistency with what bags they carry. There's no Vera Bradley here at all, so that's campus-dependent.

Thinking of doing cosmetic updates to a dated home? These were our costs.
I was in a college campus yesterday, and you would see all kinds of bag, did not see any vera bradley. I did see a bunch of stylish young girls (freshman, sophmore looking) that one had a LV NF, but all other had a TB tote, different colors and either canvas or nylon.
Ditto this.

I was going to say TB for here too. Both my current and my past assistant (both cute college girls) wear back packs (North Face I think) and carry TB purses. I'm never actually on the campus, but live in a college city and I hardly ever see Vera stuff carried around here.
We also have a lot of girls that carry Patagonia/outdoor type bags here too since we're in the mountains, but I'm sure that's a regional thing.
Wow, I'm surprised about the Vera Bradley.
I was looking at the Longchamp bags, but I wasn't sure if they were still considered cool, haha.
My cousin will be going to school outside of Boston.
My sister is in college (well she attempts to go to class between bomb threats) and has several bags but the one she uses the most is her Lilly Pulitzer original tote. She also has a Burberry tote, MBMJ, and Coach tote but she hates to use them cause they get so beat up. She is a big fan of slim crossbody purses for when she is on campus and goes out, maybe that would be a good gift.
ETA: My sister also loves her card id wristlet. She has had a couple of Vera Bradley, her current one is Lilly Pulitzer. But they are great since you have to have your id for everything, esp. as a freshman and they are easy to toss in any bag.
I'd get her the longchamp tote. A good friend of mine from Boston has 3 of them in different colors. She is not a college student though.

I would go with the Longchamp. When I was in Boston I saw them everywhere. But TB would be really nice as well.
ETA: I used my large Le Pliage as a book bag and loved it. It fits so much. Plus it's easy to clean.
Go Phils!!
Bostonian over here...
Vera vera vera vera...everywhere. With monograms. Vera makeup bags, vera clutches (Tory Burch clutches too). and Lily Pulitzer clothing if you're in a sorority. Sigh.
Agreed, Vera is definitely passe in this area.
Anything you can achieve through hard work, you could also just buy.
hahahah
My mom has tons of high school kids (in Maryland) that LOVE Vera. She works with a young teacher who took a day off work for the Vera Bradley outlet opening. And one of her interns loves this certain Vera pattern- I give that the side eye because they all look the same to me.
That being said I love the TB bags pp suggested. I would be smitten to receive one of those, haha.

Hmm, really? I also live and work in Boston and I can't remember the last time I saw someone carrying a VB. Maybe in the 'burbs...I guess I don't spend much time on college campuses, though.
I also think Longchamp is a safe bet, but I personally prefer the look/structure of the TB totes posted above.
I know.
