Vera Bradley Jewelry Cases

Vera Bradley Designs

Working together, Barbara Baekgaard and Patricia Miller are Vera Bradley Designs. The company is actually named for Barbara's mother.

Before they were sought after designers, Barbara and Patricia were neighbors, living just minutes apart from each other. The two struck up a friendship and discovered they shared an interest in sewing and fashion. After a lot of discussion, they decided to put these interests to work for them, and began working on a few designs for women's luggage and handbags.

Their designs were unique from other items currently on the market. Vera Bradley pieces were made with beautifully quilted fabrics and soft-sided construction. The term "quilted" is sometimes equated with old-fashioned, but this definitely wasn't the case with the Bradley designs. The prints used were bold, intricate and contemporary, taking the quilting genre to another level. Vera Bradley Designs had created a look that was modern and trendy, and the company took off.

Eventually, these basement-based entrepreneurs realized they were outgrowing their humble operation, and started bringing in professional seamstresses to help keep up with the demand. Today, Vera Bradley Designs fills a 25,000-square-foot manufacturing center located in Ft. Wayne, Indiana, employing over 75 people. The line has been expanded to more than 800 products, including Vera Bradley jewelry cases, purses, duffel bags, cosmetic bags and more.

Vera Bradley Jewelry Cases and More

Jewelry boxes give you a safe storage space for your bracelets, earrings and other jewelry accessories at home, but what do you do with them when you travel?

Vera Bradley jewelry cases make ideal small carrying bags that give you a way to bring your favorite pieces along on vacations, business trips or any other travel occasion. Let's take a look at some of their best features.

A quick trip to the Bradley website reveals the basic design of the jewelry case.

Size

Each bag measures approximately 6 x 3 x 4 inches. This is a fairly compact size, but it makes the case easy to pack, and still offers adequate space for your baubles. The rectangular body of the bag zips open around the top, revealing inner storage compartments to organize your pieces and keep the more delicate ones from being scratched during transport.

Basic Design

Although the basic design of the jewelry case remains the same, you do have the option of choosing a fabric print to compliment your sense of style. Vera Bradley currently offers fifteen colorful choices, so rather than having a problem finding one that you like, you're more likely to have trouble selecting just one.

Costs

These bags usually retail for $34.00, but from time to time the company retires a print and introduces a new one, so Vera Bradley jewelry cases sometimes become more valuable if the fabric was a particularly popular one. Retired pieces often wind up on eBay and other online auction venues.

A Coordinated Look

Perhaps one of the biggest attractions of the Vera Bradley line is being able to coordinate your travel ensemble. The company also offers luggage, handbags, laptop cases, totes and other items designed for the woman on the go, all in your favorite patterns.

Support Breast Cancer Research

You can indulge in a little guilt-free shopping when you purchase Vera Bradley jewelry cases, knowing the company puts considerable effort and a portion of its profits into funding breast cancer research.

Over the last five years Vera Bradley Designs has raised money for the cause by holding annual tennis and golf tournaments. Through their Vera Bradley Foundation for Breast cancer, Barbara and Pat have pledged to raise over one million dollars to establish a breast cancer research facility at the Indiana University School of Medicine.

Additionally, Vera Bradley has created two very special fabric prints and made them available to their customers. With every purchase of "New Hope" and "Hope Toile" part of the proceeds is funneled back into research.

Conclusion

Vera Bradley jewelry cases offer safe, portable storage space, so you can feel secure about traveling with your accessories. The pieces are attractive and reasonably priced, and you're supporting a worthy cause with every purchase. Again, what more could you ask for?
