With so many people having their lives threatened by cancer it’s great that a purse designing company is doing something about it.  Vera Bradley is funding research for breast cancer with the sales from certain patterns.  So everytime you buy a Vera Bradley pattern like Pink Elephants, Hope Toile, Pinwheel Pink, and the up and coming Hope Garden some of that money is going to help a wonderful cause.  Now some of those patterns are retired, like Hope Toile, but there are always new patterns out there that they are selling to help find a cure for cancer.  It’s great to know that when you buy Vera Bradley you can also be supporting a cause greater than fashion.
