Now that I've cleaned this first group of five bags and wallets from my big thrifted Vera Bradley lot, let's see what shape they're in.
This matching wallet and bag in the retired Blanco Bouquet pattern have no damage and thus need no repairs. Although I've heard the pattern is rare I found a similar set on Poshmark selling for $30.00. They're in like-new condition, and since I wear a lot of black in the winter I'm going to keep them for me.
This small purse and wallet are in good condition; they're going in the donation bag for our local church thrift store.
This purse is one I'll be upcycling before I donate or gift it. The edge of the front pocket is completely frayed.
There are a couple of wear spots on the bottom left and right.
The strap is also heavily frayed. I'm going to think about how I want to remake this purse, and then I'll bring you along in another post as I do.
