Eran Elfassy and Elisa Dahan of Mackage

The Mackage designers are from Montreal, Canada, but their offices and retail stores are scattered around the globe. They work from New York, Toronto, as well as Montreal, and their two flagship stores are located in New York and Paris.

Why New York?: “New York city offers the best stage, in our opinion, for our collection as we want to make sure that the world can have access to the strong designs coming from Canada. And while we are based in Montreal, we have lived in New York ourselves during the process of building our business and the city is so much a part of our personal and professional style as is our home in Montreal.”
