Bradley Luggage and Purse

Ever wondered how the delightful range of Vera Bradley luggage and purse got its start?

It was 1982… the founders, Patricia Miller and Barbara Bradley Baekgaard, were waiting for a flight in Atlanta. Looking around they realised something was lacking – there was just no feminine-looking luggage anywhere to be seen.

That realization was all it took to spark the creation of the Vera Bradley company (named after Barbara’s mother) which was soon manufacturing the wonderful quilted cotton Bradley luggage, purses and accessories which we have grown to know and love.

Located in Fort Wayne, Indiana, Vera Bradley is a remarkable success story. It’s luggage and purse products are an absolute pleasure to own, not to mention show off while waiting for your next flight.

Their growing popularity is highlighted in this video which starts with a few words from co-founders Barbara and Patricia. The video continues with a sampling of where Vera Bradley products have been spotted lately… and its not just at airports…
