I love Vera Bradley, so stylish and colorful and unique!  This breakaway lanyard did not make it through one school year and literally broke apart yesterday at the latch clip.  My ID and keys went tumbling into the hall while I was standing at my door to greet students during period change.  I have had several VB lanyards that I bought in store that lasted much longer, this was the first I purchased online.  See photo- the metal seems cheap not durable, and Im not happy!  Thank goodness I found my keys or this could have been even worse.  Im on the hunt for a new lanyard, and fast!
