NY BRAND OPENS EXCLUSIVE FACTORY IN ISTANBUL

After a successful seven-year run in the New York market, the designer Emre Erturk, who is known for his unique, luxury pet carriers and fine handbags, has now christened his own factory. The label Emre New York is prepared to burst onto the fashion stage front and center with an expansion of the firm’s global strategy by opening their own exclusive, new factory in Istanbul, Turkey.

Emre first generated buzz in New York City with his one- of-a -kind luxury pet carrier handbags. What followed was a major foray into the luxury handbag business, promoting his exclusive line that reflects a timeless, elegant style and versatile functionality. The factory, recently opened in August 2006, provides the perfect venue for top notch design. And Turkey, known for some of the finest textiles in the world, is now the center for top quality major label production in handbags and leather goods.

Signature bags by Emre New York were chosen as "the most versatile bags to come along in years" by Fox 5 Fashion News and were all the rage at the 2006 Oscars. The label, carried by a roster of celebrities including Carmen Electra, Beyonce Knowles, and Geena Davis - will now be producing even more exclusive styles and designs with the new factory.

This successful New York brand has been sold at Takashimaya, Saks and Fred Segal. Though, the Emre New York brand's primary focus is in retail, the label also does exclusive designs and private label creations. For those firms who are style-conscious, need special craftsmanship, original design or who prefer their own reproductions - Emre NewYork provides complete factory service while ensuring the highest quality workmanship with some of the finest specialty detailing in the industry.

Global branding and strategy remain the ultimate goals for Emre NewYork who is also the exclusive designer for a number of international luxury brands. Emre New York and the private factory also design, consult and manufactures private label for 12 other prestigious stores and brands in the USA.

Owner and designer, Emre Erturk - a fashion celebrity in Turkey and widely recognized at the center of cutting edge creations in Istanbul and New York City, is a designer who remains passionate about the handbag as a source of style and easy functionality in a woman's life. As Emre explains: "Women should feel confident and special when they carry my bags, a bag should add something to her look, never take away."

Emre, who recently appeared on The View, E and Fox 5 News was featured in the September 2006 issue of Penthouse Magazine. Top magazines and newspapers like Accessories, Marie Claire, Vogue, NY Post and a host of other publications feature Emre's line.
