Born from the interaction of two Parisian ladies, MAGNAN & TSE is a high end fashion label specialized in Precious Apparels since its launch in October 2009. The designers' vision is to combine handmade embroideries with basic volume silhouettes, morphing each piece into a casual elegant and chic garment.

 

MAGNAN & TSE evolves between Paris and Hong Kong: Paris for the creativity and Hong Kong for the know-how. East meets west you said? Here it is!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Based on the staple Tee, our line is very versatile to wear. It turns attires into adornments, ideal to dress day and night.

 

 

Our signature, soft bamboo fabric T-Shirts and dresses are defined by the unique handmade embroidery of beads, studs, and jewels details, elevating the shirt into an exquisite work of art with a bit of a "rock chic" edge.  

 

The handmade embroidery is unique to each dress or shirt. No two pieces are the same - guaranteed!

The embroideries are all handmade. This is also our signature quality craftsmanship, which has made us recognized as a high end label.

It took us almost two years to bring our dream to market and start making a modest living out of it. We have participated to different trade shows in Paris in order to reach overseas market and show our line as much as we possibly can.

 

We as designers also love to explore new techniques that bolster creativity. Digital print is our first endeavor: high resolution, photo quality images are printed onto silk with a geometric pattern that creates a highly distinctive, graphic collection of tops and dresses.

We now have the new Spring/Summer 2012 collection ready to be showcased and manufactured. The cost will be approximately $15,000 for a first production run, but we just don't have that much cash in hand, and that's why we need your help today.

As very energetic independent designers (we are a team of only two people!), we have self-funded the project so far. It is very challenging to guarantee a top quality of our products, but that is truly what we believe in: beautiful apparels that we keep in our wardrobe for a long time. Quality can make it sustainable! We believe in quality fabrics and finishings, because fast fashion is simply killing fashion and our planet.

We hope to raise at least $12.888 with the support of IndieGogo to bring the new collection to life. 8 is the lucky number in Asia ;-)

Be part of our story, be a part of Fashion as we love it - independent, creative & fun!

In February 2011, we set up a pop up store in a Hong Kong art gallery for a preview of the new line. Here is the teaser we made to announce the event.
