In 1982 the Vera Bradley Company (Vera Bradley Designs, Inc.) opened its doors for business in Fort Wayne, Indiana. This Midwest American company was envisioned by two women, Patricia Miller and Barbara Bradley, as they sat together waiting at the busy Atlanta Airport. Watching the crowds hustle past, the pair soon noticed a problem. The women travelers were all toting bland, boring and altogether unfeminine luggage.

Named after Baekgaard's mother, purses by Vera Bradley Designs come in brilliantly colored patterns and are very soft and feminine.
