My review is for the outlet sale held in the war memorial each year in Fort Wayne. In order to attend one must register on the VB website and then purchase a ticket from ticket master for a specific time. Upon arrival, you follow a long line of mostly women into the shopping area. They had a large selection of both discontinued and current patterns. Everything from luggage to eyeglass holders. The prices did not appear to be substantially different than what sale prices are in retail stores. When your time was up, you were herded into a football size area with rows going back and forth lengthwise. I counted 15 – 20 rows. It took 2 hours in line to check out. When finally getting to the cash register, they kept having problems with machine. If you are handicapped in anyway this would have been extremely difficult. Would I do this again, absolutely not.

I love their micro fiber collection and their genre of bags, purses, totes, wallets and other cute stuff. Personally, I wish there were an outlet in the Metro NYC area where I would be able to shop directly from them rather than through a retailer. Some of their colors and patterns are on the wild side but I perfer the simple classic look.
