Vera Bradley Designs, Inc. is an American design company best known for its soft, brightly patterned bags. The company was founded in March 1982 by Patricia Palletto Miller and Barbara Bradley Baekgaard, a 1962 graduate of Marymount College.Shortly after becoming friends, the two formed a wallpaper business called “Up Your Wall.” Through the wallpaper business, Miller and Baekgaard became interested in clothing. The women started Vera Bradley Inc. with only $500 in the company bank account and began operating out of Baekgaard’s basement. Originally made for the older generation and inspired by English and French designers, Vera Bradley is now a very popular trend between tweens, teens, and young adults. Named after Baekgaard's mother the company got its start when both were inspired while awaiting a flight in Atlanta, where they noticed a "definite lack of feminine-looking luggage". Within the first year the company had made over 10,000 dollars and within five years of the company hit the 3 million mark.
Vera Bradley bags come in several sizes and styles, as well as many different patterns and colors. There are travel duffels, totes, purses, wallets, eyeglass and sunglass cases, cosmetic cases, and jewelry cases. There are also umbrellas, napkins, placemats, rolling luggage, diaper bags, tableware, rugs, accessories, and stationery.
Periodically, the company will retire a pattern. When patterns retire, new ones are produced. New patterns are released four times per year beginning in 2010: spring, summer, fall, and winter.
Vera Bradley also offers sorority items, as Miller was a member of the Sigma Upsilon Chapter of Kappa Delta.

The Heart of the Ocean
The Heart of the Ocean (also known as Le Cœur de la Mer) is the name of a fictitious blue diamond featured prominently in the 1997 film Titanic. See the ORIGINS section of this article for more details about the inspiration for the design of this movie prop.
-->
In the film, treasure hunter Brock Lovett (Bill Paxton) searches for a necklace, which he believes to be within the wreck of the RMS Titanic. His hunch seems to be confirmed when his team salvages a drawing, dated the day the Titanic sank, in which a nude woman is portrayed wearing only the necklace. The necklace was fashioned from a large blue diamond worn by Louis XVI. (Ironically, this very diamond happens to be the Hope Diamond, which Lovett said is worth less than the Heart.) Shortly after his execution in 1793, the diamond disappeared and was recut into a heart-like shape, known as "The Heart of the Ocean". The story of the heart of the ocean is very like the story of the Hope Diamond, except that the Hope Diamond was worn by Louis XIV in a royal necklace rather than a crown.
The woman in the picture, Rose DeWitt Bukater (now named Rose Calvert) (played by Gloria Stuart and Kate Winslet) contacts Lovett and is flown out to his recovery ship where she relates the story of her trip. She reveals that, although now known as Rose (Dawson) Calvert, she is in fact Rose Dewitt Bukater, a teenage girl believed to have perished in the sinking. Rose Dewitt Bukater's bullying fiancé Caledon Hockley (Billy Zane) had bought the "Le Cœur de la Mer" necklace as a symbol of his love for her. Rose wore the necklace when Jack Dawson (Leonardo DiCaprio) drew her nude, the very drawing that was later salvaged. When Rose and Jack return to her room after running around the ship fleeing Spicer Lovejoy, Cal's valet, he meets them outside the door and chastises them, taking hold of Jack's arm and stealthily dropping the necklace into Jack's coat undetected. As soon as they enter the room, they are confronted by Cal, who claims Jack has stolen the necklace. In a short search of Jack, the diamond is found in the coat he is wearing. Jack's pleas of innocence are thrown in doubt when it is discovered that he has "borrowed" the coat he is wearing to sneak into first class, and he is branded a thief.
Before the Titanic sinks, Cal puts his outer coat on Rose, faking a show of care for her, and failing to realize that the necklace was in its pocket. When the Titanic sinks, Rose is still wearing the coat. After being rescued from the water and traveling to New York City, Rose discovers the necklace in the coat.
At the end of the film, Rose walks alone to the stern of the salvage ship and opens her hands to reveal the necklace, which she has kept all of her life. She lets the necklace fall from her hand and into the water.
Many of the deleted scenes from the film displayed Lovett's obsessive curiosity as to the whereabouts of the diamond during the course of Rose's story. In the alternate ending, Lovett and Lizzy, Rose's granddaughter, notice her walking along the deck, toward the stern of the ship. They notice her stepping on to the railing and quickly run to confront her. She shows them the diamond, dangling it over the rail threatening to drop it in order to keep them back. When questioned about having the necklace all this time, Rose admits that there were many times she thought of selling it, but refrained from doing so in order to live on her own without Cal's money. She allows Lovett to hold it in the palm of his hand, something he wanted to do since he first began the search for the gem, before flinging it overboard.
