natural materials

A patented mechanical method to transform pineapple leaves (leftovers from food production) into a special resistant material that can be used for handbags and shoes.

Accessories are made of certified wood, using mainly faggio/beech which is not an endangered tree. See IUCN (world union for conservation of nature).

Every process and detail in the construction of c r o s a handbags is made with natural materials: glues, waxing, reinforcements and padding.

on everyone's side

Transparency: c r o s a’s partners are all certified to international standards.

Values: we actively partecipate in the diffusion of responsible consumption styles, even in the luxury sector. Nature is our ally.

Durability: we are using the best for our bags to last in time.

Commitment: we strive to make the most ethical and respectful choices with regards to our planet, even when they are the most challenging to implement.

 

nature is on our side and we are on hers

trying to reach a zero impact on nature, all materials used for c r o s a handbags are 90% sustainable,
thanks to a circular system, recycled organic materials and natural materials that are largely available.
