There's a wide variety of products in the collection, including duffle bags, backpacks, purses, throw blankets, totes, and even a cute bag charm. Many of these come in two styles--Force Floral or Darth Vader. Force Floral is the flashier of the two. Merging Vera Bradley’s beautiful floral mosaics with Star Wars iconography, they are flashy while also being understated in terms of the theme. Unless you look closely, you’ll probably miss the Star Wars symbols embedded throughout the fabric.

The Darth Vader design is more muted. This fabric is solid black, with detailed stitching creating outlines of Darth Vader’s helmet. A few pieces are inspired by ships from the films, like the Star Wars Hathaway Tote Bag and its Millennium Falcon exterior, but the Force Floral and Darth Vader fabrics are the main attractions.
