Lana Condor’s Vera Bradley Collab Proves You Don’t Have To Sacrifice Style To Be Sustainable

Lana Condor can add the title of being a “designer” to her various other roles. The actress joined the brand, Vera Bradley for celebrating the launch of Vera Bradley’s Recycled Cotton Collection.

This marked her first-ever fashion collaboration as she donned a functional yet extremely chic backpack. She shared that she has been a huge fan of the brand since she was a kid. The To All The Boys actress explained that she always associated positive, and awesome memories with the brand.

She revealed that she had the opportunity of being able to design a bag that is part of Vera Bradley’s Utility Collection. The singer said, “I had the wonderful opportunity of being able to design a bag that’s part of their Utility Collection. They have their core styles like their totes, duffels, and crossbodys, but I really wanted to create a backpack because I’m very much a backpack girl. Mainly out of functionality because I travel quite a bit. I always have a backpack with me when I go to set because I have a lot of things I want to keep with me.”

Vera Bradley’s Recycled Cotton Collection features the beloved brand’s iconic style and prints. However, now their fabric is made of 50% recycled and 50% conventional cotton. Lana also gave some styling inspiration as she wore her backpack on a daily basis. This was in case of the backpacks not being your go-to.

“For every day, I would do a white tee tucked into your favorite pair of denim. I’m really into black denim right now like ripped Levi’s,” the star advised. “If you’re traveling, I would go for an oversized trench coat moment and then wear it on one shoulder.”

Meanwhile, on the career front, Lana is getting ready to start shooting for her upcoming movie, Moonshot. As per the actress, it is a sci-fi rom-com starring her and Riverdale star, Cole Sprouse. And with this month being AAPI Heritage Month, the star is planning on using her platform for good. “I’m doing a bunch of different varieties like panels that will give me the opportunity to use my voice and continue to stand up for our community this month.”
