Cross crafts heritage leather collection – 03/08/07

The 1846 collection passport wallet


US. Cross, the maker of writing instruments and lifestyle accessories, has unveiled a new leather collection named in honour of the company’s 160-year heritage.

Accessories in the 1846 collection feature dark colours in smooth leather, enhanced by contrasting accents in debossed, hand-tipped leather. The result is designed to achieve a two-tone look. Colours are black, brown blue and red.

Products include keyring pouch, chequebook wallet, flip card case, passport wallet, jotter, single pen case and personal agenda. Domestic retail prices range from US$25 to US$175.

Also available is a two-tone pen with an etched pattern replicating the debossed pattern on the leather. The pen is included with the passport wallet, chequebook wallet, jotter, personal agenda and padfolio. The 1846 emblem appears in the decorative hardware, as well as in the pattern of the pocket linings.

The 1846 collection makes its debut in September.
