Fashion Pulse Daily has been digging the Magnes Sisters for quite some time now, and with it being our birthday and all, Tamar, Yael, and Dina Magnes gave us a sweet gift: 25% off Magnes Sisters handbags now through Monday, November 9th! Simply head to MagnesSisters.com and enter code “fashionpulsedaily09″ at checkout. Most of the bags are priced from $166-$547, complete with luxe leathers and amazing colors, with our favorites being the Dry Martini and Gallery.

Magnes Sisters

Yael, Tamar, and Dina – the Magnes Sisters – are behind an awesome handbag collection, which has previously been featured on Fashion Pulse Daily. This time around, we still love them as much as ever! Their popular dry martini bags (folding clutches) were my favorites and came in a variety of colors, fabrics, and prints.

Oblik-Atelier

Mia Hebib is the genius behind Oblik-Atelier and is based out of Brooklyn, NY. Her art-deco (Hebib has an “obsession” with lines)- inspired collection is entirely handmade and limited in production.  Oblik-Atelier, which has been featured in magazines such as i-D and Lucky, will soon be gracing the pages of a prominent Swiss magazine in Spring 2010. All of the pieces I saw were interesting, unique, and truly works of art.

Yegang Yoo

Korean-born designer Yegang Yoo (who has previously worked with Vena Cava, Hussein Chalayan, and Rachel Comey) is another emerging fashion talent based out of Brooklyn. Her accessible collection – first launched for fall/winter 2008 – featured awesome custom-made geometric prints, dark colors, draped pieces, and light fabrics, as well as many blazers, shorts, and tunics. I completely fell in love with her unique collection, especially with many of the brilliantly draped dresses!

Saltbox

Saltbox is travel luggage, totes, and cosmetic bags that are sturdy, laid back, and perfect for everyday use. One of the best things about this collection are the unique, crazy wallpaper-like prints – there is truly a design for everyone! The collection is also fairly priced – it’s a relief to find something attractive and well-made that won’t break the bank, let alone perfect for travel. In fact, many of the travel bags feature airplane emblems that, appropriately enough, went through quite the journey themselves: first embroidered, then made out of clay and shipped to India and New Jersey, before being completed and added as the perfect finishing touch to this already unique line of totes. Pick one up today and travel in style!

Shenan

One of the most sought after pieces in this collection, a black crop vest, originally didn’t make the final cut, but was so popular with everyone who saw it that the designer, Shenan Fraguadas, added it back in, and thank goodness for that! This bold and beautiful Brooklyn-based collection is heavy on a vintage-y and rock ‘n’ roll aesthetic, as well as asymmetrics, destruction, crop tops, neutral colors, and floral prints. One of my favorite pieces is a shredded black crop top that would surely add a tough, interesting edge to an otherwise basic outfit.

Fashion’s Night Out is an unprecedented initiative created to celebrate fashion, restore consumer confidence, and boost the industry’s economy.  With the collaboration between American Vogue, the Council of Fashion Designers of America, NYC & Company, and the City of New York on September 10, 2009, more than 700 stores will stay open late to put the fun back in shopping. Designer appearances, live windows, celebrity guests, and other special events and discounts have been initiated to aid in the financial sector of the fashion industry but in addition, two important New York charities—the September 11th  Memorial and Museum and the NYC AIDS Fund. Both will benefit from the sales of a charity t-shirt and tote, plus a citywide clothing drive, respectively. Check out the videos created by Fashion’s Night Out and the Style Coalition to promote shopping and get in the spirit of the event! Wonder where Fashion Pulse will be?

I recently met Yael, Tamar, and Dina Magnes, and was immediately struck by their impressive handbag collection. The trio of sisters started their aptly name collection, Magnes Sisters in 2005,  and features versatile styles in an amazing color palettte with very cool linings in a variety of fabrications. And, I am most certainly grafteful that the collection is priced between $234 – $418!
