In Good Taste: Dana Avidan Cohn

Dana Avidan Cohn

Today, we're launching the first edition of In Good Taste, an ongoing series from The Get designed to spotlight men and women whose style and taste can be genuinely trusted.

In Good Taste features thoughtfully chosen things that our tastemakers rely on, return to, and use regularly—the items that have earned an authentic place in their lives, cabinets and closets.

A New York–based creative director, editorial strategist, and on-air fashion authority, Dana Avidan Cohn currently serves as Director of Editorial Content at Macy's, overseeing brand messaging and product curation across media channels. Previously, she held senior editorial positions at InStyle, Self, POPSUGAR, and Editorialist.

For our first edition of In Good Taste, we asked Dana to share the one item she genuinely recommends and uses constantly.

DeMellier

Dana’s Get: DeMellier New York Tote

"I was looking for a chic work bag that could fit my laptop and easily mix into my wardrobe. I wanted something elevated in textured leather or suede with an interesting shape."

Dana has only owned the bag for a few months, but it has already become a constant companion. Spacious enough for work essentials while remaining polished and refined, the tote strikes the balance between practicality and style that so many bags promise but rarely deliver.

"It's beautifully made and holds everything."

While it currently serves as her everyday work bag, it's also become a favorite travel companion thanks to its generous size and understated sophistication.
