Crouch & Fitzgerald was established in downtown Manhattan in 1839, in the days when only the rich traveled, and when finely crafted luggage was the order of the day. The store first became known for its custommade luggage service when Franklin Delano Roosevelt commissioned a full set of leather luggage embossed with his initials. Using only the finest leather, skilled craftsmen made these cases by hand stitching selected hides on steel frames. Genuine Irish linen lined the inside of the cases. Solid leather straps were sewn to the base of the body, and shiny brass lever action locks completed the design. Today, premier luggage brands such as Hartmann, Ghurka and Longchamp, as well as exclusive Crouch & Fitzgerald items, are offered at our Madison Avenue store. The superb, quality products are matched only by the firstclass service provided by knowledgeable salespeople. In May 2003, Crouch & Fitzgerald was bought by Gayle Martz, President of Sherpas Pet Trading Company, a manufacturer highend of pet carriers. Gayles global vision compliments Crouch & Fitzgeralds distinguished luggage and leather goods from around the world for men and women. The introduction of The Sherpa Shop at Crouch & Fitzgerald now caters to the VIP pet, with coordinating bags for pets and people.
