The mitt and glove are large, so you have plenty of room to use them. They are so pretty, too!Finally an oven mitt that fits my petite hands! I also like that I can hang these so they don't take up drawer space.Huge Vera Bradley fan. I returned these because they seemed more for decoration than to be used, and that wasn’t what I was looking for. Felt thin and were packaged in such a way I couldn’t put my hand in and feel the thickness that way bCute set, nice and thick. These are not flimsy, I've had some before in other brands that I've felt like I'm going to burn my hand if I don't put the pan down pretty quick, but I don't have that problem with these. I tend to use potholders more than over mitts, but the oven mitt works just as well as the pot holder. I've washed both a few times, I line dry most everything, so there has been no shrinkage, they haven't come out wonky, the filling hasn't shifted or bunched, and the seams are still fully intact. I can't say the same about a lot of other brands. The mitt is a bit shorter than I'm used to, but it doesn't bother me, and I'll probably get a couple more sets to have on hand.Good quality. Super cute set. Great for a gift.First of all, the "citrus paisley" pattern is simply gorgeous. Photos really don't do it justice...at all. I tend to favor neutrals, but I think pops of color can be cheery and beautiful in a kitchen, and these are lovely.The set is thick and durable. The oven mitt is big enough for my husband's hand, so it's quite large.All that said, I'm not sure the fact that this is a Vera Bradley set will justify the cost for many consumers. Is it beautiful? Definitely. Is it a nice, good quality set? Yes. Are one mitt and one pot holder worth the current price of 25 dollars just because they're a name brand? Maybe not.I love the colors & design of thisVera Bradley set! I got the citrus paisley, and it’s right up my alley. I was happy to find that the colors are darker & more pronounced than they appear in the product listing. Love that they’re machine washable - I haven’t washed them yet, so fingers crossed that they’ll retain their shape & color afterward. The glove fits comfortably & bends easily to grip the sides of hot baking sheets. It would be nice if the set included two gloves & one potholder, especially for the price of $25, which seems a little steep for what you get (took off one star for this). I guess you’re paying more for the brand & the popularity of the print, as other designs options are $7-$8 less.Easy to use, easy to care for. Stylish, functional, and affordable. Great for those of us with smaller hands. Makes a great hostess gift or house-warming gift.
