Mackage: the Brand, the Designers, the New Season’s Pieces..
This week’s brand in focus is Mackage, the Canadian-based label dedicated solely to ladies’ outerwear. The brand was founded by a dynamic duo of Eran Elfassy and Elisa Dahan,? two schoolmates who started drawing designs and talking about how when they grew up they’d go into the fashion business, when they were only? twelve years old. In just about ten years their dreams came true? when they? founded Mackage.

Mackage is all about outerwear for slender women. After 5 years, Mackage has gained the allegiance of divas and fashionistas in Canada and US for its strength in outerwear and its wonderfully cut leathers. Mackage has no age. It is made for the fashion-forward, slender woman. The line is renowned for creating silhouettes that are sexy, sleek and sought after.
Having begun as a leather collection, Mackage has evolved into a complete fashion outerwear line. The strength of the line lies in their wool jackets with leather detailing. This leather detailing has since become the Mackage trademark. Celebrating their 5th year together, the Mackage team reveals an innate knowledge of tailoring.

This season Elisa Dahan and Eran Elfassy have really outdone themselves. The new collection sizzles, and it appears that while the fire has been raging out of control in the Mackage studio, a little old-fashioned discipline is standing by to keep things in check. It is all about sleek, sharp, and fitted jackets and trenches in classic colours. The pure lines of their collections fall beautifully on the body. Design accents include motocross pure leather jackets, asymmetrical wool coats, shearlings with raccoon trim and other unique outerwear. Savvy women look to Mackage who hotly anticipate every new Elisa and Eran innovation.
