Born and raised in London, England, Ebony Cross Designs founder Ebony Cross followed her dream of design in 2016 after starting her career in psychology. After volunteering at craft fairs and seeing the beautiful handmade items, she was particularly struck by an African print designer and was inspired to create.

Borrowing her mom’s sewing machine, Ebony sewed her first makeup bag in 2016. The rest is history! She had fantastic goals, to create sustainable purses, bags and accessories that were individually handmade in vibrant colours (colors), unique shapes and soft fabrics. 

Sustainably made in London, England, vegan leather purses and sustainable purses made of soft fabrics, like velvet, are key to Ebony Cross Designs. 

The Style Escape is the first shop to offer her designs in North America!

Ebony Cross Designs is a sustainable purse brand that combines vibrant culture and modern fabrics to create beautiful handmade pieces. Colour (color), soft touch, shape and vibrancy are part of each item. Each bag is individually sewn together in London by Ebony Cross. Fabrics are sustainably sourced from countries like Ghana, Holland, Germany and the UK.

Ebony Cross Designs is committed to being a sustainable brand. All items are hand-sewn by Ebony Cross in London, England, with extremely low to zero waste.
