Vera Bradley quilted bag

Vera Bradley is a renowned American design house most famous for its vibrant, patterned quilted bags and travel accessories. Founded in 1982 by friends Barbara Bradley Baekgaard and Patricia R. Miller in Fort Wayne, Indiana, the brand was born out of a realization that there was a lack of colorful, feminine luggage options for women.

Today, the brand operates as a publicly traded company and remains headquartered in Indiana. While the design and creative direction are rooted in the United States, manufacturing is distributed across multiple countries, including China and Vietnam, to meet global demand. The brand has expanded beyond its signature cotton bags to include leather goods, home décor, and stationery, maintaining a loyal following through its distinctive aesthetic and functional designs.
