While walking the halls of WJ, one may find many girls carrying bags with swirls of different colors and different patterns.
These patterns and colors are those belonging to renowned handbag company, Vera Bradley.
The Vera Bradley name began as merely an idea, from two friends, Barbara Bradley Baekgaard and Patricia R. Miller. Baekgaard’s mother, Vera Bradley, inspired the entire company and its style of quilted and girly bags. Thirty years later, their idea has become one of the most popular accessories for girls.
Junior Rachel Mullin is one of those girls.
“I love all of the designs and I wanted a fun backpack this year,” she said.
She has the pattern entitled “Ellie Blue,” a pattern with a black background and blue, yellow and ivory flowers and petals trailing throughout, in the “Double Zip Backpack.”
Mullin would recommend this backpack to anyone looking for a different style of bag rather than the classic school bag.
However, Mullin notes that the bags are on the expensive side, ranging somewhere between $48 and $248.
When making a decision about which brand to go with for a new, yet sturdy, type of school bag, Vera Bradley is definitely the place to go. Plus, they are constantly coming out with new patterns. Take a trip to www.verabradley.com for a look at the newest ones to date.
