The league’s LOVB Pro and LOVB Club players will star in Dagne Dover’s ad and collection campaigns, and the bag brand will also be featured across LOVB’s digital platforms. LOVB Madison players Mariena Hayden, Temi Thomas-Ailara and Claire Chaussee were among the league’s first pros to officially sport Dagne Dover’s bags in the chic Dune colorway ahead of their game against LOVB Houston on March 4.
As for the goods, expect LOVB teammates to serve up on- and off-court style with Dagne Dover’s Landon Carryall, Ace Fanny Pack and Mara Phone Sling ($75 to $270), to name a few.
Now in its second season, LOVB has pro teams in Atlanta, Austin, Houston, Madison, Nebraska and Salt Lake City, and is the U.S.’ largest youth volleyball community and the sport’s “first professional league built from the club up,” according to the organization.
“At LOVB, we’re building a movement that champions women, on and off the court, and DagneDover is an ideal partner in that mission,” LOVB Chief Business Officer Michelle McGoldrick says in a statement. “As a women-led lifestyle bag brand, Dagne Dover understands the demands of life in motion. Volleyball families and pro athletes alike live on the go, from daily practices to cross-country travel, and this partnership is about meeting them with products that bring function, style, and support every step of the way.”
Adds Dagne Dover co-founder and CEO Melissa Mash, “As a women-founded brand, it feels especially meaningful to support a professional league that was built around women from the start.”
Launched in 2013 by Dover, Deepa Gandhi and Mash, Dagne Dover is known for its minimalist neoprene backpacks, duffles, fanny packs, diaper bags and other travel carryalls. Its popular Landon bag has most recently been spotted at the Super Bowl LX with Seattle Seahawks champions Michael Dickson, Patrick O’Connell and Jalen Sundell, while Heated Rivalry actor Connor Storrie recently toted the extra-large duffle through JFK Airport.
