Doug&Suzy-Q Posted May 10, 2007 #1 Share Posted May 10, 2007 I know you all can help me.........I have just spent the last hour+++ on yahoo & google looking for: A medium size purse with a fun tropical print. A print like the cute beach bags everyone carries, but a purse.....not a huge purse...or everyone elses goodies will end up in my purse.....say: 8-10" long.....6-7" tall........with a zipper. Something I can put a small paperback in and small wallet.. I just know someone has a link for me.......I am so frustrated searching... This morning I have been to Wal Mart, Kohls, Belk. You ladies are great..............gentlemen too...if you can help:D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beemergrrl Posted May 10, 2007 #2 Share Posted May 10, 2007 Fossil has some fun stripe designs that say Vacation to me. Maybe you would like one of them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
careywv Posted May 10, 2007 #3 Share Posted May 10, 2007 Have you tried Vera Bradley bags? I have the new Straw Tote for my beach bag in the Peacock Print. It's very nice. They have other sizes available for bags, and I love them. I have several styles and prints. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beachgirl6479 Posted May 10, 2007 #4 Share Posted May 10, 2007 Another vote for Vera Bradley. She has some fabulous prints, many are very tropical, and her purses come in many different sizes and styles. http://www.verabradley.com/Site/Home.aspx?

careywv Posted May 10, 2007 #5 Share Posted May 10, 2007 Attached is the Peacock Print in the Little Betsy bag. The new prints for summer are the Peacock Print, the Capri Melon print, and the Capri blue print. All great for summer! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

karen sharpe Posted May 10, 2007 #7 Share Posted May 10, 2007 Believe it or not try Old Navy!! DD and I spent a well needed Mom and daughter afternoon out and spent an hour in O N trying things on. She looked great in everything and most of my try ons were good for a chuckle . Pass me the Jenny Craig bar. :eek: Seriously though they had some really cute bags especially the crocheted sac bags in vibrant tropical colours. Here is the site. http://www.oldnavy.com/browse/category.do?cid=7374&pageID=-1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kb4683 Posted May 10, 2007 #10 Share Posted May 10, 2007 I see you're in Clermont -- have you tried Beall's?? They usually have lots of fun bags with Flamingos, palm trees, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eandj Posted May 11, 2007 #15 Share Posted May 11, 2007 Depending on where your crusie is headed..I'm presuming Caribbean?....You are going to see sooooo many neat bags for sale at the ports. Don't spend a lot on something here in the states, because, I guarantee you will buy one on the cruise. Same for wraps or cover ups. So many people hunt for days for something around home and when they get to the ports they'll find more, and cheaper, than you can imagine. I bought 2 wraps on a beach in Mexico for 15.00 and they are so beautiful...beaded and sheer. I get only compliments. I couldn't get 1 for that price in Wisconsin! My "excursion" bag came from Curacao. It doesn't say anything on it ( I HATE those), but is very different. Waterproof too. Have a great cruise. And leave room in your suitcases for those "special buys". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hoyaheel Posted May 14, 2007 #19 Share Posted May 14, 2007 Somehow I don't think that is a coincidence. So I guess somebody does read these threads huh? Yes, a computer program that does word searches. Sometimes that computer program comes up with unintentionally hysterical combos, because there is no context checking.....

ChefPeg Posted May 17, 2007 #20 Share Posted May 17, 2007 Have you tried Zappos? I buy all my shoes there and they have huge selection of handbags too. http://www.zappos.com Good luck and happy shopping. Peggy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
woohoo4ue Posted May 17, 2007 #21 Share Posted May 17, 2007 I've seen some really cute ones at Target, but I couldn't find them on their website. My girlfriend was carrying this teal bag with sequins in the shape of a flower in the top corner! I loved it and of course asked where she got it. She said Hobby Lobby!?? HUH? Who even knew they sold purses there? I'll definitely be checking them out! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Silvery Seas Cruiser Posted May 18, 2007 #22 Share Posted May 18, 2007 Have you checked Tommy Bahama? They have a few items such as that, but they don't have a lot of stores. Sometimes better department stores carry women's Tommy Bahama clothing and accessories too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
