Brand Overview
Observing a lack of feminine luggage, the Vera Bradley founders decided to create a company (named after Barbara Bradley Baekgaard’s mother) to design a line of quilted-cotton luggage, handbags, and accessories – and the rest is history! Vera Bradley has grown into an internationally recognized lifestyle brand providing a myriad of beautiful solutions for its customers. Vera Bradley is a leading designer of women’s hand-bags, luggage and travel items, fashion and home accessories, and unique gifts. The brand’s innovative designs, iconic patterns, and brilliant colors inspire and connect women unlike any other brand in the global marketplace.
