In an effort to bring our retailers the latest collections and emerging talent from the fashion world, we'd like to introduce stylesmart.com's Featured Designer - EMRE New York and his line of irresistable leather handbags and pet accessories.

Celebrated Turkish painter, New York resident and dog lover Emre Erturk, has spread his angel wings a little wider with the launch of EMRE NEW YORK, a luxury leather accessories line for dogs and people alike. EMRE NEW YORK includes handbags for day and night, dog travel bags made of sumptuous leather.

Always an artist, Emre's mother knew he was destined for an artistic vocation when she discovered him drawing male and female anatomical figures on the walls. By the time he had finished high school, Emre had won several painting contests, including first prize in a national competition in Turkey. Even more remarkable is the fact that Emre has already had vast experience as a designer for Vakkorama, the internationally known Turkish fashion company. With his background, Emre brings his creative genius to the fast growing consumer demand for luxury handbags and pet accessories.

A firm believer in mysticism and the metaphysical, Emre uses special beads such as evil eye beads that are known to keep evil spirits and bad fortune away. He also borrows from his paintings with his use of horseshoes, which appear on several of his pieces and are part of the branding of EMRE NEW YORK. A metaphor for freedom and of special significance to Emre, "horseshoes," he says "are magical, and people have forgotten about their beauty and ability to ward off bad luck. Besides, who wouldn't want to do all they could to protect their dogs from harm." According to senior fashion editor of Glamour Magazine Kelli Delaney ,"I have met the most incredible people while walking my dog wearing Emre's collar and leash. Besides being so chic, his pieces are like guardian angels protecting me and my dog!"
