Don't worry. We all do it. (but it's almost Pesach so we know you'll be going through it again soon and posting a new picture of your front hallway. We are waiting with baited breath)

Thanks for the link! It's great! unfortunately he doesn't address the all-important question in the OP. He also doesn't address the trend towards leather or other funky tefillin bags. A regrettable oversight.See here in R. Eider's tefillin book, starting around page 164 I think. He distinguishes between the two and between tallit and tefillin bags:

Mind you the real shandah is that often the tefillin and tallit bags of the MO are not even velvet. And worse, do not always have the obligatory plastic cover. Mind you it is moot. Becausr they don't even wear tefillin -- they just put the bag conspicuously in the car on dates to let the date know the expectation is the date will extend to the morning.
Yeah, but they do daven--as in "please, G-d, let me score tonight......"

My husband's don't match. I bought one tallis bag when we were engaged, before I knew that the family had a specific style of doing the names. (and a horrible representation of hands during Bircas Cohanim which I do not regret at all not having, though I feel a little bad that he's the only one that doesn't have it) So a little while later, I bought a second one for his weekday tallis and tefillin, but he just switched over the tefillin bag from the first set since it had his initials on it already. Come to think of it, I have no clue what happened to the second tefillin bag.

I don't even know what my husband's look like to know if they do or don't match, but I'm 99% sure they're velvet.

Named after the chazon ish?
Kind of. The family would never have heard of the chazon ish- let alone his real name. The two names are family ones, a family friend, who for sure would have known, suggested how they be put together.

They don't have to match, but they shouldn't clash...
Besides, doesn't EVERYONE have 770 on their talis bag anyway???
