For more than five decades, Croscill has turned trends into standards. Traditions into fresh ideas. Croscill has been redefining home fashions since they emerged as the most innovative and fresh-voiced design company in the industry.Croscill’s history with redefining tradition began in 1946, with the introduction of the “Croscilla” window treatment. The unique Croscilla valance appeared similar to the old Priscilla design, but stretched across the entire window and covered the window rod. This fuller, more luxurious form soon became a sought-after standard and the design industry clamored to learn if Croscill was a one-time deal, or if they would continue to turn customary designs into custom-made quality.Croscill did not disappoint designers or consumers. Over the next decades, the company continued to improve traditional window treatment designs. Croscill pioneered mix and match tier kitchen curtains, the Antique Satin drapery program, and the Blouson Valance. All became industry standards.

From the beginning, the factory was set up to manage mass customization through the latest technology and manufacturing systems, making American Leather the most automated leather furniture manufacturer in North America, if not the world.
