MZ Wallace, the New York-born handbag brand known for its lightweight quilted totes, is opening a holiday pop-up on the Upper East Side on Friday, November 6, the brand announced in an Instagram post. It’s a homecoming of sorts, since the brand used to have a permanent shop in the neighborhood.

The pop-up is at 1042 Lexington Avenue (between 74th and 75th streets), according to the brand’s store locator. It’s two blocks from 993 Lexington Avenue, between 71st and 72nd streets, where MZ Wallace once had its Upper East Side boutique. The brand opened that shop in 2010, when it was celebrating its 10th anniversary, and it was MZ Wallace’s third store in Manhattan, according to a writeup by Time Out at the time.The pop-up opens Friday, November 6. It’s not clear yet how long it’ll stay open.
Monica Zwirner and Lucy Wallace Eustice started MZ Wallace in 2000. The brand’s flagship store is at 49 Crosby Street in SoHo, and it opened in 2022. MZ Wallace has also been opening stores outside New York. Its Los Angeles store at Westfield Century City opened last November and was its first on the West Coast. That made six retail locations, along with New York, Chicago, Miami and newer stores in Boston and Washington, D.C., according to FashionNetwork.
