The Vera Bradley company specializes in argyle totes and handbags and are very popular with women. Here are some key identifying features to spot fake Vera Bradley purses.

  1. On every Vera Bradley zipper there is a special tag that has the Vera Bradley signature on it. If it doesn't have the signature, it may not be a Vera Bradley bag. HOWEVER, older Vera Bradley bags, from the past, did NOT have the Vera Bradley signature on the tag. Instead they have another design.[1]
  2. Vera Bradley is known for their argyle stitching. If all sides of one diamond are equal, you know it can't be right because it's not a square; it's a parallelogram.[2]

  3. Usually, somewhere on the bag, there will be the Vera Bradley signature. This is usually on the little stripes. Each Vera Bradley pattern has the pattern, of course, and then decorative stripes that are another interpretation of the pattern. Often times you will see the Vera Bradley signature there and you will know.[3]
  4. Every Vera Bradley pattern has an outside AND an inside pattern. So if it's blank on the inside, chances are it's not a Vera Bradley.
  5. There, you will find some information and you can search for different styles of bags, and you can see a timeline of retired patterns. If you can't find the pattern anywhere on the website, then you know it's not a Vera.[4]
  6. The website has additional information on where these stores are located.
  7. Then they may tell you what brand it is.
