So what’s a trunk show? A trunk show is when a designer’s newest or full collection is specially brought in to showcase to a selected group of customers. No longer reserved for brides in search of their dream wedding dresses or moms in need of new Tupperware, Vera Bradley is bringing trunk shows to SMU’s campus just in time for the holidays.

SMU’s Vera Bradley campus ambassadors will be hosting trunk shows and tabling on campus beginning this Friday through finals week, and each event will center on items from the Winter 2015 collection.

The popular retailer known for its quilted cotton luggage, handbags and backpacks now features colorful new designs in rosewood, zebra, alpine floral, alpine check, black and white studs, plum studs and buffalo check, perfectly suited for the cooler winter months.

Sure to be a great holiday gift for mom, friends, and sisters (both biological and sorority), be sure to visit at least one, if not all, of the Vera Bradley events listed below.

Friday, Nov. 13: Tabling at noon in the lobby of Shuttles

Monday, Nov. 16: Thanksgiving and travel themed trunk show at the Alpha Chi Omega House
