Iโm Verniecia Gilbert, founder of Nie + Bert Co. Iโve always had an eye for handbags that feel elevated without being inaccessible โ though I never imagined launching a brand of my own.
Based in Metro Atlanta, I draw inspiration from travel, wellness, and film โ elements that influence how I design, live, and create. Nie + Bert Co. reflects that balance: intentional, stylish, and made for women who simply know.
After years in high-pressure environments throughout my 20s and corporate life in my 30s, I began craving more creative freedom. A transformative trip to Europe sharpened that desire โ and introduced me to a way of dressing that felt intentional, effortless, and confident.
I searched for a handbag that embodied that energy: luxurious yet practical, elevated yet wearable, able to move seamlessly from street style to date night elegance. When I couldnโt find it, I created it.
Nie + Bert Co. blends fashion and function with a mindset rooted in confidence and ease โ designed for women who move through life with intention.
