Mackage Adds Handbags To The Mix At Toronto Fashion Week Fall 2013

The first handful of looks to take the runway had us on the edge of our seats hinting that Mackage was headed for a dynamic season. Lots of fur, leather shorts (for men, too!), and calculated layering, all pointed to the street-style phenomenon that inspired their creations. Creative directors Elisa Dahan and Eran Elfassy are no strangers to manipulating leather so it’s no surprise they tested their talent by adding handbags. Catching up with the pair backstage, the duo confirmed they have been itching to venture into the world of accessories. “Every year we need something more and are looking for another challenge,” states Elfassy. “We know a lot about leather, we like details and are very hands on, it seemed like a natural transition.”
