Vera Bradley began as an instinct. An instinct fueled by the optimism, passion, and bold self-expression of our founders, who imagined a more colorful, beautiful world — specifically a more beautiful world of bags and travel accessories. They listened to themselves and invited generations of women to listen to be their own muses. That, together with a passion for design, artistry, and craft, has inspired independent women everywhere to embrace their very personal and unique individual styles. We exist to champion all the ways women move today, enriching everyday moments and playing a supporting role in their adventures. We do that by listening to our own muse, and to yours. In a very real sense, Vera Bradley belongs to every woman who rejects the notion of sameness and the suggestion of conformity and chooses to be bold and expressive in all the ways that matter to them. Vera Bradley designs for you, because Vera Bradley is you. And you are your own muse.
