Alpha Cruxis: Geometry

Having just discovered Alpha Cruxis and their latest collection, entitled Geometry, this handmade leather label is based in Berlin and it launched on July 31st 2013.

Alpha Cruxis was founded by the Australian designer Rebecca Martin, who only works with the highest quality Italian vegetable tanned leather. Alpha Cruxis creates sculptural, minimal bags celebrating material, technique and form. Each piece is cut, sewn and finished by hand in their Berlin studio.

The debut 2013 bag collection from Alpha Cruxis ‘GEOMETRY’ consists of two shoulder bags, two clutches and one coin purse. The faceted geometric designs use 3mm thick black leather, giving the bags their rigid form.

Each bag is fully lined in black suede, and uses silver hardware. The collection is available through the Alpha Cruxis web store, and at the Henrik Bivskov Boutique, Copenhagen. Prices range from €210 to €560. In 2010, Tasmanian born Rebecca Martin graduated with First Class Honours from the Bachelor of Design (Fashion) at the Royal Melbourne University of Technology, Melbourne, Australia.
