Founded in 1982, the Vera Bradley company has flourished into one of the major players in the designer handbag arena. The company, named after Barbara Bradley Baekgaard's mother, was started by Ms. Baekgaards and Patricia Miller to fill the definite lack of feminine-looking luggage. Barbara and Patricia noticed this void while waiting for an airplane flight in Atlanta.

Vera Bradley branched out their products and soon had a large collection of items. They not only fulfilled the void for feminine luggage but also make many different types of bags. Handbags, or Purses, has turned into on of their main product lines.
They also make accessories such as scarves, headbands, passport holders, photo holders, and all types of stationary out of their trademarked cotton patterns, such as pencils, notepads, binders, and more.
Vera Bradley items come in a large assortment of colors and patterns. They retire patterns when it has been on the market for a while and when it's retired another pattern fills it's place. The new patterns are normally introduced in January and July, for the upcoming spring and fall seasons.
