Lana Condor can now add "designer" to her impressive list of roles!
To celebrate the launch of Vera Bradley's Recycled Cotton collection, the To All The Boys actress partnered with the brand for her first-ever fashion collaboration: A functional yet extremely chic backpack.
"I've always been a huge fan of Vera Bradley since I was a kid. All the women in my family are big fans, so I always associated these really positive, awesome memories with the brand," Lana revealed to E!. "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 styles and prints, but now with fabric that's made of 50% recycled and 50% conventional cotton.
And as an avid backpack wearer and fashion icon, Lana gave us some styling inspiration for wearing her backpack on a daily basis in case backpacks aren't your go-to.
"For everyday, 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."

"Besides the new partnership with Vera Bradley, I am getting ready to start shooting this movie called Moonshot. It's a sci-fi rom-com with myself and Cole Sprouse," Lana revealed to E!. 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 various like panels that will give me the opportunity to use my voice and continue to stand up for our community this month."
