Vera Bradley has moved into the realm of Disney.

Two new Disney-inspired patterns will be released this fall, sold at Disneyland in California and at Walt Disney World in Florida. In the future, they will be sold at the Disney Parks online store.

A pattern with a black background featuring Mickey and Minnie and a paisley print will be called “Midnight with Mickey.” The pair also appears on a pattern with a bright pink background called “Just Mousing Around.” The patterns will be seen on duffel bags, totes, cosmetic bags and more.
