Best-Selling Bag Reimagined in Exclusive Editions
Mark Cross was founded in Boston in 1845 as a manufacturer of horse carriages and harnesses. Later, Patrick Murphy acquired the brand and opened stores in New York and London. In 1934, Gerald Murphy took over as successor, expanding the business to include bags, luggage, and cigarette cases. After a temporary closure in the 1990s, the brand was revived in 2011. Production has since resumed at a historic Italian factory, with collections drawing inspiration from the brand's archives.
Mark Cross is cherished for its exceptional quality, rooted in history and tradition, and its design philosophy of eschewing superfluous ornamentation and logos. This aesthetic appeals to celebrities with a discerning eye. Among its offerings, the "Grace Box Bag," inspired by Grace Kelly's role in Alfred Hitchcock's masterpiece "Rear Window," has remained a beloved staple for many years.
This season, the brand's best-selling "Grace Box" is presented as a Dover Street Market exclusive, crafted from supple Italian calf leather. Its refined black square silhouette is captivating, while the interior features Mark Cross's iconic red lining. The hardware is finished in an elegant gold, and it comes with a detachable shoulder strap. Available in two sizes: small and large.
The bag space on the first floor also showcases popular items from the latest collections, including new colorways of the Grace Box in leopard and stripe prints, as well as clutch bags perfect for everyday use.
