Vera Bradley has chic new accessories, home accents

Patricia Miller and Barbara Bradley Baekgaard were dismayed by the dearth of ladylike luggage as they passed through Atlanta’s airport in 1982. So they started a business to change that. Today, Vera Bradley Designs - named after Baekgaard’s mother - is popular internationally for distinctive, multicolored, soft quilted cotton handbags. The Fort Wayne, Ind.-based company has remained fresh and relevant over the years, expanding its offerings while retaining a signature style. This spring’s offerings range from luggage, sunglasses and sandals to housewares and beach accessories. There are even stylish neckties, pocket squares and cuff links for men.
