The limited-time collaboration spans across body care, home fragrance, home decor and accessories, and introduces new hero fragrance Peach Blossom & Nectar alongside exclusive Vera Bradley patterns and gift sets.
COLUMBUS, Ohio, March 20, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Bath & Body Works is partnering with Vera Bradley on a limited-edition Mother’s Day collaboration that brings together fragrance, design and gifting across body care, home fragrance and accessories.
At the center of the collection is a new exclusive fragrance, Peach Blossom & Nectar, developed by Bath & Body Works with a leading fragrance house and world-class perfumers in close partnership with the Vera Bradley team. The scent features notes of peach nectar, golden freesia and sweet beechwood, delivering a true-to-life peach profile designed to feel fresh and uplifting for spring. For this collaboration, Vera Bradley worked to create three exclusive designs all tying back to the scents featured in the collection, offering a one-of-a-kind experience to Bath & Body Works consumers.
The collaboration includes two additional fragrances: Pink Berry Burst, a playful, fruity blend, and Blue Washed Sky, a fresh, cozy scent. Each fragrance is paired with a coordinating cosmetic bag created exclusively for the collection.
“As consumers continue to seek small, everyday moments to find their feel good, the collection’s fragrances and spring-inspired notes offer an uplifting, sensory escape grounded in optimism and joy,” said Kristie Lewis, executive vice president of merchandising at Bath & Body Works. “We approached this collaboration through the lens of what each brand does best. Vera Bradley is known for color and pattern, and we’re known for connecting with consumers through our trend-forward fragrance. Working closely with their team, we focused on bringing that spirit to life through scent and design. From the fragrance to the packaging, every detail was created to feel thoughtful, joyful and gift-ready for Mother’s Day.”
“From the very beginning, Vera Bradley was built around the idea of creating things that bring joy and connection into everyday life,” said Barbara Bradley Baekgaard, Co-Founder of Vera Bradley. “This collaboration with Bath & Body Works brings that idea to life in a new way, blending fragrance, color and design into something that feels cheerful, uplifting and perfect for celebrating moms and the people who mean the most to us.”
The limited-time assortment spans body care, home fragrance, home decor and accessories across the three unique fragrances and 22 forms. Prices for the collection range from a $1.95 PocketBac to a $69.95 Eau de Parfum.
Select collectible accessories include the Peach Pedestal 3-wick candle holder, Vera Bradley Peach Spray Sanitizer & Lip Holder and Vera Bradley Peach Scent Control™ Nightlight Wallflowers fragrance plug.
Bath & Body Works rewards members can shop select Peach Blossom & Nectar products, including the eau de parfum, ultimate hydration body cream, 3-wick and peach pedestal 3-wick candle holder in-app and online beginning March 22, 2026.
