Mark Cross is a luxury leather goods house with origins dating to 1845 in Boston, where it began as an equestrian equipment maker. Today based in New York, the brand produces artisan-made leather bags, luggage, and accessories in Italy, and its signature frame-shaped cases have become enduring icons, linked to Grace Kelly’s overnight valise designed for her by Gerald Murphy, a former Mark Cross president. Its products target luxury buyers who value craftsmanship, refined silhouettes, and high-quality detailing. In the broader retail luxury goods and jewelry sector, the company emphasizes heritage and quality as distinguishing traits rather than trend-driven design. In 2019 the brand announced the launch of its own resale platform, signaling an expansion into the secondhand luxury market.
