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…

Spill some coffee or grape juice on that leather Coach purse and you may be pulling your hair out, but if you have a Vera Bradley purse you simply just throw it into the washing machine. In fact, you can use the same laundry detergent that you use on all of your clothes to get the stains out of your Vera Bradley bag. Since the purses are built so well you will not have to worry too much about color fading either.

So yes, you can wash your bag over and over again. Every once in a while you will probably want to wash it just to keep it smelling fresh and clean. It’s a wonderful feature because you will feel like you have a whole new purse again, and it hardly cost you anything.

Not only are the bags practical for keeping them clean and looking new, but they also have pockets in the perfect places and plenty of room to carry just about anything you would need. What I love most about them is that they are nice and soft, making them comfortable to carry on your shoulder.
