The Fabia Croco

Introducing our brand new venture – the Croco Collection by Maxwell Scott. A handpicked selection of our iconic designs have been crafted with a faux crocodile print leather in three different shades; Tan, Chocolate and Black. Ranging from the Dimaro document folder to the Rosa tote bag, this elegant collection offers an exotic leather piece for all lifestyles. Founder, William Scott Forshaw explains:

 

“We are highly regarded by our customers for the honest and natural full-grain vegetable tanned leather we craft with. The Croco Collection is the plot twist in our story. Exuding new bravura with the same impeccable quality we are famous for, I am truly thrilled to be launching this luxury range of mock croc leather bags and accessories.”

Our Croco Leather

Abiding by our promise to honour Italian craftsmanship, this faux crocodile print leather is sourced from Italy. Handcrafted by our loyal leather artisans who have been a part of the Maxwell Scott Bags team for nearly fifteen years, these new faux croc leather creations experience the exact same handmade journey as our classic leather pieces. Created from cow hides, the crocodile print is heat embossed on to the surface of the leather’s grain for a rich texture. William states:

 

“Using real crocodile hides was never an option for me as it isn’t an industry I believe to be at all ethical. Although some would argue that it is also immoral to craft with cow hides, I ensure that we use high quality Western cow hides that are a by product of the meat industry. They haven’t been farmed for their skin, unlike most crocodile and alligator hides”.
