Mackage, the brand synonymous with tailored outerwear, rich leather and intricate details, partners with niche online fashion magazine PurseBlog to release a unique, new handbag style. As an extension of their Fall 2013 handbag launch, Mackage designers Elisa Dahan and Eran Elfassy utilized their expertise of high quality leather to create “Nomad.” The bag will officially debut in the US market at a partnership launch party on November 7th.

Tapping into PurseBlog founder Meghan Mahoney Dusil’s intricate knowledge of the handbag market, the threesome has created a multi-functional, high quality bag that features statement details reminiscent of the brand’s cult-worthy leather jackets. Adding to the 10 handbag styles Mackage already released for the Fall season, the Nomad serves as three bags in one, with two storage sections that can be separated to function as two small clutches, or connect to create one larger cross-body bag.

“I always pay special attention to details and knew that the bag needed to have a certain look, yet be functional,” says Elfassy. “While the zippers offer a cool factor to the design, they also serve a practical purpose – unzip and the bag transforms into two.”
“We chose the name ‘Nomad’ because it’s a perfect travel companion. As someone who often finds herself in a new city, I realize how important it is to pack items that can transform as my day evolves,” says Mahoney Dusil. “Elisa, Eran and I designed the perfect accessory to accompany my readers and the Mackage consumer as they journey through their day.”
The thoughtful expression and practical consideration that went into the Nomad reflect the sentiment that a handbag is more than just an accessory designed to complement an outfit, but should be a statement all on its own.

“With our recent expansion into the handbag category, we were thrilled to partner with Meaghan” says Dahan. “Meaghan is a “go to” expert when it comes to handbag style and trends, and I’ve been looking to her for years. We combined our desire for the ideal handbag and honed in on what was lacking across the market and created my favorite new ‘it’ bag.”
The Nomad will retail for $395 and will be available from November 7th at the Mackage flagship store in Soho and on Mackage.com.
