The Fort Wayne, Indiana company produces many products, including quilted cotton luggage, handbags and accessories which can be found at one of the 3,500 retailers or the stand alone Vera Bradley stores.

History

The company was founded in 1982 by Patricia Miller and Barbara Bradley Baekgaard, and named after Baekgaard's mother. The company got its start when both were inspired while awaiting a flight in Atlanta in March 1982, where they "noticed a definite lack of feminine-looking luggage." Barbara Bradley Baekgaard is a graduate of Marymount College, Tarrytown, NY (class of '62).

Products

Vera Bradley bags come in many sizes and styles, as well as many different patterns and colors. There are travel duffels, medium sized totes, large totes, purses, wallets, watches, belts, glasses cases, and cosmetic cases. There are also umbrellas, napkins, placemats, rolling luggage, tableware, bedding, furniture, fine rugs, accessory coverings, and stationery. Pet collars, beds, leashes, and carriers for small dogs, cats, and rabbits are also available. The purses come with a variety of names such as the Sherry, the Bucket Tote, and the Amy. Prices run between $10 and $150; the most expensive bag is the Boxy Tote and the cheapest is the Katie.

After a pattern is on the market for a while, the company retires it. When patterns retire, new ones are produced. New patterns are released in spring and fall colors; they are typically introduced in January and July. The company will also retire or redesign specific styles and new styles may be introduced in concurrence with the new patterns.
