The new licensed goods “don’t match her handbags, but they match her lifestyle, [which is] comfortable and high quality,” says Susan Britton, marketing creative director for the Fort Wayne, Ind.-based company. “This is what women who have an affinity to the Vera Bradley handbags love about the licensed products — they’re creative, fun and happy.”
One item of interest is the Hope Armoire by Drexel Heritage ($2,739), which will be at select Walter E. Smithe furniture stores this fall. Drexel Heritage has agreed to pledge 1 percent of the proceeds from all Hope Armoire sales to The Vera Bradley Foundation for Breast Cancer. More than $4 million has been raised by Bradley to support breast cancer research. For more information on the Vera Bradley My Home collection, visit www.verabradley.com.
