The Vera Bradley story is a testament to the power of friendship. While on vacation in March of 1982, longtime friends Patricia Miller and Barbara Bradley Baekgaard were awaiting a flight in Atlanta when they noticed a lack of feminine-looking luggage. Within weeks, these dynamic women had created a company capable of marketing and manufacturing their cleverly designed products. The demand for these unique handbags and luggage items has grown and so has Vera Bradley, which is now nationally and internationally recognized.

Vera Bradley began its support of National Women's Friendship Day in 2004 by encouraging all of the stores that carry its product to promote the day. In 2006, Pat Miller served as the honorary chairman of National Women's Friendship Day. Learn more about Vera Bradley.
