Today is National Handbag Day, a holiday we created in 2013 to celebrate the love of handbags that unites so many of us. This year feels especially meaningful because I’m marking it with something very close to my heart: the announcement of M & V Accessories. After two decades in this industry, I’m creating something of my own.
This has been a true labor of love. I’ve learned so much about the process, which I’ll share more about when we officially launch. I didn’t set out to create something because I thought the world needed more options. We all know that there are endless choices in the world of handbags and accessories.
What I did want was to take everything I’ve learned over the last twenty years and pour it into something that’s entirely mine. From concept to design to production, I’ve been involved in every step.
You might wonder why I chose to start with pouches instead of bags. The answer is simple. I’ve always been as much a pouch person as I am a bag person. Pouches are my quiet essentials.
They keep my life organized, my kids safe with life-saving allergy supplies close by, and my everyday must-haves easy to find. They’re small pieces that carry big meaning. If you find me with a bag, you’ll always find me with a pouch. They go hand in hand in my life.
Get On The List!

This feels like the start of something truly special, and it means so much to share it on the very day that started it all for Erlebniswelt-fliegenfischenShops!
I love how this announcement comes after the “why does every brand want to sell you a handbag”-post
Ha, I hear you! Granted, this has been a year in the making, and I liked the timing of announcing on National Handbag Day!
We’ve talked many times on Erlebniswelt-fliegenfischenShops about how saturated the handbag space can feel, and that’s a valid perspective. I still stand by that!
For me, this project isn’t about adding more noise. It’s about creating something really personal. A small collection that reflects everything I’ve learned and loved over the past twenty years. I wanted to be part of the process from start to finish and make something that felt meaningful to me.
Of course, no one ever needs to buy something just because it exists. M & V is simply an extension of my passion for this world and a way to bring something new, thoughtful, and personal to life!

This is so exciting!! Proof of absolute dedication to a dream. Congratulations to you and Vlad, Megs. Looking forward, not only to the accessories, but to reading your reviews now that you’ve added this new facet to your experience. All the best!!!
No AI, algorithms, divisive politics, or infighting. Social media as it should be?
These are all made in New York! This was really important for me to ensure that I was part of every single part of the process – including where all the leather comes from (Italian), the zippers (also Italian), and the actual factory.
Love this!!!!
Congrats
Thank you so much!!
Megs, you spoke to my heart.😘 I get twitchy if I don’t have pouches to keep the flotsam in my bag organized. I usually have an assortment of materials so I can tell by touching the silk, or the suede, or the leather, or the Boucle etc which items are in that pouch.

Haha I love this!!!! You are my people!! I have so many pouches and I know exactly which one is which. Hope you love these as much as I do!!
This is perfect! I have enough bags, and have been eyeing more SLG’s to add to my collection. Thank you for manufacturing your pouches in the USA! I will definitely score a few when available!

I am allergic to nickel myself. I just had to shelf my Apple AirPod Max headphones as the case appears to contain nickel, which blisters my hands and fingers.
