St. Croix (clothing)

St. Croix, or St. Croix Shop, is an independently owned speciality boutique store selling handmade high-end knitwear founded in Minnesota, USA.

History
Founded by a group of seven designers 50 years ago, St. Croix began as a small apparel business in Minnesota and has become a major retailer in luxury knitwear.

St. Croix Shops joined the advisory board for the Global Point of Sale and Store Operations Summit in Las Vegas in 2004, an event for successful retailers to discuss marketing strategies and modern trends and fashions.

Operations
St. Croix uses many rare raw materials including Australian Merino wWool, Pima cotton, Tasmanian lambswool, cashmere, vicuna and chenille.

St. Croix employs more than 200 craftsmen who hand-craft the item and create limited quantities of each design. There are currently 15 St. Croix Shops located in upscale shopping areas throughout the United States. The company's clothing can also be found in over 150 specialty boutiques and stores worldwide.
