Our team:
CRYDS® quality begins with our people, with our artisans. That's why we rely on women who, day after day, not only produce art but also manage their homes with their hands; men who, with their life experiences, imbue us with their experiences and passion for this beautiful art of saddlery.
Our Philosophy:
As a company, we want to generate sustainable development with our team, their families, and our community by offering stable, dignified employment that honors their work as artisans, supporting initiatives that contribute to improving the fight against climate change and the limited employment opportunities.
Our story:
CRYDS® is a new venture that was born from the strong global crisis of 2020 known to all, this situation leads many businessmen and entrepreneurs to rethink their way of doing business and implement new models and strategies to not allow this to stop their project, this is how our founder considers the option of taking their products directly to the final consumer through electronic commerce, because it is no secret that the world is changing and the way of selling too.
These were difficult times for everyone, including entrepreneurs like our founder, who for over 15 years has been working day after day to get ahead with his shoe factory. In the beginning, he was supported by his uncle, a key figure in his entrepreneurial venture, as he was the one who motivated him and helped him get started in the footwear and leather goods sector.
Without many resources, but with a strong desire to succeed, our founder has overcome various obstacles over the years. He has also been accompanied by a great team of experienced artisans who have supported him with skilled labor. He has over fifteen years of experience manufacturing footwear and products from 100% genuine leather, specializing in the production of driver-style or tubular moccasins with flat and socketed soles, Sperry-style loafers, and more. This begins with the design conception, the development of each collection, and strict quality control.
CRYDS® is a tangible example of the great love our Founder has for his family, as the brand is composed of the initials of each member of his household. It is a dream that seeks to have generational significance and, at the same time, international expansion.
