Summary

• Vera Bradley is a bag and accessories retailer and wholesaler. The company owns the namesake brand, which focuses on women's bags, and Pura Vida.
• In late 2022 and early 2023, the company changed its management team. The new team proposed a complete overhaul of the VB brand identity.
• The customer response to these big changes might be negative, as the brand significantly deviated from its previous proposition. Online comments are generally negative.
• Given the rebranding risk, and the price at which Vera Bradley trades, I believe the stock is not an opportunity, at least until more information on the rebranding is released with 2Q25 results.
