THE CRIS & COCO MANIFESTO

We’re not here to sell you a dream. We’re here to expose it. Luxury today is a game of smoke, mirrors, and manufactured scarcity. They sell us $3,000 bags with $30 worth of materials and a $2,970 markup called “aspiration.” Friends say it’s fine, friends say it’s good, just like Robin Hood, but in reverse.

At CRIS & COCO, we believe the real heist isn’t in the counterfeit stalls of Guangzhou, it’s in the flagship boutiques of Fifth Avenue. Welcome to fashion’s open secret: the emperor’s new handbag is probably made in the same workshop as ours. Only difference? Ours doesn’t come with a moral hangover or a quarterly bonus for the marketing intern who named it “Icon.”

So we offer Original Pirate Material, but the kind that’s curated, authentic quality. We slash the markup, not the quality. We serve bags with history, character, and no obligation to pretend you’re buying into a legacy when you’re just leasing status for the’ gram. 

This isn’t anti-fashion, it’s fashion unplugged. It’s what happens when two brand exiles decide to sample the system, remix it, and sell it back with better keywords and a cleaner conscience. You don’t need a high price tag to fill legit. You need style, guts, and maybe a little sass.

CRIS & COCO: where luxury loses the leash.
