Vera Bradley

A line of handbags and accessories produced by the Vera Bradley company. Founded by Patricia Miller and Barbara Bradley-Baekgaard (whos mother, Vera, gives her name to the company). The company usually produces their products out of cotton quilt material, and are known for being light weight and easy washable. Styles and colors are many, with names like Java Blue, Citrus, and Alpine Black. Most colors are available in all styles. Also worth notable mention is the Vera Bradley Breast Cancer Foundation. Two colors, Hope Toile and New Hope, were created so that a portion of each purchase of an item in that color would go to the foundation. Until recently, Vera Bradley bags have been most popular in the South, whereas they can now be found on college campuses nationwide.
