Timeless style, smooth performance and peerless engineering. The new
Autocross leather collection rallies this spring with a spirit that perfectly embodies the Cross history of innovation and craftsmanship.The
Autocross collection features exquisite styles of leather accessories, each one attentively designed and crafted for enduring use. The design hints at
sporty, automotive-inspired details influenced by the Cross history. Deep, sophisticated tones, such as black, brown, toffee, red and teal are reminiscent of
the rich leather appointments you'd find inside vintage cars.
Echoing some of the fundamentals of the 1930's streamline era, this
collection uses the guiding principle of utility (the pen) to inform the design. Handsome and understated, this collection attracts with an uncluttered form,
yet is distinguished by subtle details in decoration, shape, and texture. The rhythmic placement of the perforations, which are evocative of kidskin driving
gloves, adds freshness, an unexpected élan. Clean lines, as well as gently rounded corners and curves, convey a modern aesthetic.
The
leathers are pleasantly textured and come in two finishes. One finish features a natural, pebbled look with deeply saturated colors and enhanced softness
(available in black, toffee, and teal). The smooth, vintage leather option uses a vegetable tanning process that highlights the natural characteristics of
the leather, showcasing the depth of the colors (red and brown) and improving the longevity and performance of the leather. Throughout the collection the
interiors combine coordinating ultra-suede and Cross dot linings.
Naturals in multiples, these stylishly slim ballpens color-coordinate with
things on your desk and in your closet. Modeled after the iconic Century gold pen, the quality is a given, the writing a pleasure, the pearlescent tints in
trendy colors fabulously chic. Chrome-plated appointments with decorative center ring.
