Vera Bradleys was founded in 1982 by Patricia Miller and Barbara Bradley
Baekgaard, and named after Baekgaard's mother.
Vera Bradley was started in a basement and 16 years later, Barbara
Baekgaard and Patricia Miller have taken their line of women's luggage,
accessories, and clothing from trunk sales in their homes to major markets
around the globe.
Vera handbags are commonly found in small shops, rather than large department
stores.
Vera Bradley's corporate headquarters are currently based in Fort Wayne, Indiana.
Creating stylish quilted cotton luggage, handbags and accessories, the company
combines smart product designs with distinctive and colorful fabrics and trims.
Her designer products include are vera travel duffels, medium sized vera tote, large totes, purses, vera wallet,
watches, belts, glasses cases, and cosmetic bag.
Her accessories also include designer handbags, umbrellas, napkins, and place-mats.
Vera Bradley produces its handbags and 800 other women's accessories products from a
25,000-square-foot manufacturing center in Ft. Wayne.
After a Vera purse pattern is on the market for a while, the company retires it.
Vera bag designs have become known for more than a fashionable and quality
product.
Replica Vera Bradley, fake and knock-offs Vera Bradley are sold on the Internet.
New Vera Bradley handbag patterns are released in spring and fall colors; they are typically
introduced in January and July.
Vera Bradley has expanded its product line beyond women's accessories to include rolling luggage,
tableware, bedding, furniture, fine rugs and stationery
