Finding inspiration for fall

Our designers turn to lots of sources for inspiration - trend shows, fashion shows, fashion magazines, you name it, they've seen it. For our 2008 Fall Collection, the Vera Bradley team channeled timeless classics and fashion-forward hues to dream up a rich new colors you'll love. Get the inside scoop behind each:

Puccini
"Retro with a modern twist!"
Fluttery florals and swirly shapes soften the disco decade look seen on runways to give this trend a Vera Bradley spin. Get ready to show off your feminine side with this statement-making canvas infused with luscious blooms and delightful brights.

Frankly Scarlet
"Frankly my dear, it's all about red this fall!"
We took the iconic crest, supersized it, and spiced it up with fall's hottest hues—fuchsia, garnet and magenta. A striking combination with modern appeal, Frankly Scarlet is a lively addition to any wardrobe.

Caffe Latte
"You asked for neutrals, and we listened!"
This season's palette is steeped in plenty of soft tans, chocolate mochas, warm camels and smoky grays. So this understated pretty paisley will pair perfectly with your favorite everyday blacks and browns.

Night Owl
"A classic print with a touch of whimsy. What a hoot!"
Fall is all about intricate details and unique shapes, including bold color combinations like aquamarine and black, geometric patterns and birds. Night Owl combines all three trends to bring you a look that's smart, fresh and fun. Prepare to be enchanted.
