The form-fitting, functional designs are essential and inspired while the sleek organic lines and sumptuous textures are all trademarks of Tusk products.<\/p>\n<p><strong><\/strong> There was a nice variety of luxurious and exotic leather bags, leather  purses, leather backpacks, messenger bags, and totes.\u00a0 I liked the unique  and versatile styles. There were lots of bags in pretty spring shades of  green and lavender, beige, as well as metallic tones with nice  hardware.\u00a0 Tusk also provide some fun services for guests at the event  such as henna designs and manicures by <a href=\"http:\/\/incoco.com\/\">Incoco.com<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>AsianInNY was delighted to attend the Tusk event. \u00a0We had the privilege to meet with the Tusk founder and creative director Hiten Manseta who was originally from India. \u00a0Along with him, we also met designer Michelle Chang who was born in Taiwan.\u00a0 We wish both of them our best wishes \u00a0and eagerly await upcoming events at their Tusk store for 2011!<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.asianinny.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/03\/IMG_5686.jpg\" rel=\"lightbox[10590]\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-10592\" title=\"Michelle chang, tusk\" src=\"http:\/\/www.asianinny.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/03\/IMG_5686.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"400\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>(Designer Michelle Chang)<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.asianinny.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/03\/MichelleDrGHiten-2.jpg\" rel=\"lightbox[10590]\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-10593\" title=\"Michelle , Dr GHiten \" src=\"http:\/\/www.asianinny.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/03\/MichelleDrGHiten-2.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"302\" height=\"226\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>(Tusk Designer\u00a0Michelle Chang, Dr Debra Glassman and Tusk Founder Hiten Manseta)<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.asianinny.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/03\/IMG_5678.jpg\" rel=\"lightbox[10590]\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-10597\" title=\"nails by Incoco\" src=\"http:\/\/www.asianinny.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/03\/IMG_5678.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"288\" height=\"384\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>(Nails by Incoco and Henna provided at the party for guests by Tusk)<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.asianinny.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/03\/IMG_5913.jpg\" rel=\"lightbox[10590]\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-10631\" title=\"tusk\" src=\"http:\/\/www.asianinny.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/03\/IMG_5913.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"307\" height=\"230\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>(Very stylish yet functional Tusk clutch bag)<\/p>\n<p>For more information, please visit <a href=\"http:\/\/www.tusk.com \">www.tusk.com <\/a><\/p>\n<p>To know about about Dr. Debra Glassman, please visit<br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/www.glassmandentalcare.com\">www.glassmandentalcare.com<\/a><\/p>\n<p>For more articles and photos, please visit <a href=\"http:\/\/aliceinqueens.blogspot.com\/2011\/03\/tusk-handbags-spring-2011-preview.html\">AliceinQueens<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>By Alice Chin Luxury Handbag and Accessory brand Tusk premiered their Women\u2019s and Men\u2019s Spring 2011 Collections on Wednesday, February 23rd at their flagship store in Chelsea NY, 242 W 26th street.\u00a0 Hosted by Celebrity Dentist, Dr. Debra Glassman from Glassman Dental Care, the exclusive evening with help benefit The Children\u2019s Dental Center of Greater [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":5,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[13],"tags":[5063,5062,5061],"class_list":["post-10590","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-stay-connected-to-the-latest-local-events","tag-hiten-manseta","tag-michelle-chang","tag-tusk"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.asianinny.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/10590","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.asianinny.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.asianinny.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.asianinny.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/5"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.asianinny.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=10590"}],"version-history":[{"count":12,"href":"http:\/\/www.asianinny.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/10590\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":10671,"href":"http:\/\/www.asianinny.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/10590\/revisions\/10671"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.asianinny.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=10590"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.asianinny.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=10590"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.asianinny.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=10590"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
