Vera Bradley
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Vera Bradley Designs, Inc. is an American producer of soft, brightly patterned bags.
These bags are commonly found in small shops, rather than large department stores. Many consumers choose a certain pattern, whether it be Bermuda Blue or Piccadilly Plum, and purchase many matching bags in different sizes, creating a collection.
The company was founded in 1982 by Patricia Miller and Barbara Bradley Baekgaard, and named after Baekgaard's mother.

[edit] Product lines
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, and placemats.
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.
