Vera Bradley Returns: How to Return Handbags, Travel Bags, or Accessories

At Vera Bradley, we believe in functional fashion that brings joy to everyday life. But if something isn’t quite right, whether your bag arrived damaged, the pattern didn’t match your expectations, or you changed your mind, the Vera Bradley returns process is designed to be smooth, supportive, and stress-free.

This guide walks you through what’s eligible, how to start a return, when you’ll receive your refund, and everything else you need to know about returning Vera Bradley items.

What Can I Return to Vera Bradley?

We gladly accept returns on most items purchased directly from verabradley.com or a Vera Bradley store, as long as:

  • The return is made within 60 days of delivery
  • Items are unused, unwashed, and in original condition
  • Products include all tags, labels, and packaging
  • You have proof of purchase (order number, receipt, or packing slip)

Items purchased at outlet stores or from authorized third-party retailers must be returned to their original place of purchase.

How to Start a Return

You can start a return by visiting the official Vera Bradley returns portal. Simply enter your order number and email address to access your return options.

After confirming eligibility, you’ll be able to generate a prepaid return shipping label and begin the return process. Items should be repackaged securely and sent using the label provided.

If your Vera Bradley item was a gift, we’ll help you process the return for store credit.

Refunds and Store Credit

Once your return is received and inspected, we’ll issue a refund to your original payment method or provide store credit — depending on your selection and the nature of your return. Most refunds process within 7–10 business days.

Please note: original shipping charges are non-refundable unless the item arrived damaged or there was a fulfillment error.

Exchanges

Vera Bradley does not currently offer direct exchanges. To get a different style, color, or size, simply return your original item and place a new order.

What Can’t Be Returned?

While we strive to accommodate as many returns as possible, a few categories are non-returnable:

  • Items marked as Final Sale
  • Customized or monogrammed products
  • Products returned more than 60 days after purchase
  • Items missing tags or original packaging
  • Products showing signs of wear, damage, or use

If your return falls into one of these categories, it may be declined or returned to sender.
