The Vera Company, LLC owns the extensive library of prints, original artwork, scarves, and the trademarks and copyrights of the late, iconic American artist, Vera Neumann. Vera was a pioneer in design who successfully cross-licensed her designs into linens, scarves and sportswear. She began her business in 1946 and by the 1970s, she had built a $100 million business. Her products were sold in 20,000 stores around the world. All Vera products started as original pieces of art from her own hand and they sported the distinctive "Vera signature with a ladybug" trademark.
