The lineup covers a wide range of looks, ensuring the youngest members of the family will be in style from summer through the fall.

Vera Bradley is bringing 10 new frames to the market exclusively for kids, including four

recoloring of this popular frame. It features a two-tone colored acetate with a flat rivet pin décor and the signature Vera Bradley pattern extending down the temples. Merit, available in Citrus Paisley and Prairie Paisley, is another recoloring and boasts blue and purple acetate eye rims with diamond foil décor on the corners for a bit of sparkle. Minnie,
available in Citrus Paisley, also is a recoloring and has a square shape with a beautiful, green colored acetate front and the Vera Bradley pattern on the temples.

Suki is a soft, easy-to-wear shape with a subtle uplift and double laminate crystal front.
Available in Sunflowers and Citrus Paisley, it has a Vera Bradley metal foil logo décor.
Six additional frames will be released in September, including the easy-to-wear Annabel,
available in Happiness Returns Pink and Rose Toile. It features the signature Vera Bradley
pattern printed on its temples. The Happiness Returns Pink colorway incorporates a subtle,
glitter acetate. Dylan is a recoloring available in Plum Pansies with a solid color brow milled
away to reveal a crystal lower eye rim. Kelsea, available in Black Bandana Medallion and Rose Toile, is an oversized retro shape with an updated silhouette. It has a layered metal brow with a thinner lower eye rim and Vera Bradley patterns printed on the temples.

Maisie is a modern, oversized shape available in Prairie Paisley and Citrus Paisley with those signature patterns along the inside temples.
