Vera Bradley Handbags
Vera Bradley handbags was founded almost 30 years ago, and what makes it truly special was that it was founded by two friends, Patricia Miller and Barbara Bradley Baekgaard, who decided to name the company after Barbara's mother and thus, Vera Bradley handbags were born.
Of course Vera Bradley handbags were not simply the result of the two women wanting to form their own company, oh no they sprung to life when Patricia and Barbara decided to take a holiday together back in March of 1982. As the women sat and waited for their plane in Atlanta they couldn't help but notice a distinct lack of luggage in bags that looked the slightest bit feminine. Only a few weeks later the company had been formed and Vera Bradley handbags were being produced.
While their story is widely considered to be one of the great American dream coming to fruition, Vera Bradley handbags are not only popular in the United States, but all over the world, including in the United Kingdom and Australia, which is largely considered one of the hardest markets to break into.
Not only is the company loved for their Vera Bradley handbags though; they are also adored for their huge contributions to not for profit organizations, and of course their own Vera Bradley Foundation For Breast Cancer, which receives 10% of the company's net proceeds from their Vera Bradley handbags.
Profits from Vera Bradley handbags also go towards helping a number of other worthy causes, although there are too many to list here. As I searched for an exact number I was only able to find the official list, which appears to have around 80 or so organizations on it. Of all fashion icons, it seems Vera Bradley handbags really do give the most back to women and communities.
Of course we can't very well discuss Vera Bradley handbags without talking about the Canvas Collection. They are easily some of the best looking Vera Bradley handbags and are perfect to suit almost any situation. Made from stain resistant canvas, the bulk of the body is a cream colored quilting, while pockets and accents are made from soft brown suede.
Like all Vera Bradley handbags these are the greatest quality you will ever come across, while still being very reasonable priced. The Canvas Collection has three bags, the Cedar Duffel which retails at US $165, the Birchwood Backpack which goes for $120 and the Chestnut Tote, my personal favorite, which costs only $105.
Vera Bradley handbags are the perfect fashion accessory and gift, not only because of their high quality and fashion icon status, but also because when buying Vera Bradley handbags you know the company is donating part of that money to charitable organizations.
