Vera Bradley Debuts First Footwear Collection


Designed to Simulate the Comfort of Walking on a Cloud,
New VB Cloud Collection Features Lightweight Technology

FORT WAYNE, Ind., Sept. 22, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Vera Bradley, Inc. (NASDAQ: VRA) today announced that Vera Bradley, its iconic American bag and luggage lifestyle brand, has launched its newest venture into the women’s footwear market. Filling the gap with everyday women’s shoes that are as functional as feminine and fashionable, the VB Cloud Footwear collection features lightweight technology and was designed to simulate the comfort of walking on a cloud. The collection is available in classic solids and colorful prints in four washable slip-on styles.

Based on direct feedback from Vera Bradley’s loyal community, the brand engineered the VB Cloud Footwear collection to meet criteria of comfort, beauty, durability, and longevity with unique features including water-repellent uppers; removable, anti-microbial and instant-fit memory foam insoles; molded arch supports; and high-traction, abrasion-resistant outsoles.

“At Vera Bradley, we are passionate about designing beautiful solutions—innovative products that solve real needs in our customers’ lives while also allowing them to express their personal style,” noted Beatrice Mac Cabe, Vera Bradley’s Chief Creative Officer. “Carefully researched, designed and tested, the VB Cloud Footwear collection goes the extra mile by making it easy for her to just slip on her shoes and go!”

VB Cloud Footwear styles are available in women’s sizes 5 – 11 and range in price from $70 to $80. The collection is now available online at www.verabradley.com and in Vera Bradley Full Line Stores. Select styles are also available in Vera Bradley Factory Stores.
