About me
What is CRO.CHEZ.LA?
"CRO.CHEZ.LA" is a tricky word game that came out from the fusion of the english word "crochet" and the french custom of naming stores after the owners with the word "from" followed by the name of the owner; which translates into "chez".
Even if it's written differently, it's pronounced the same as the word "crochet".
And then there is LA which is my acronym but also the way my best friend has been calling me since the very first day we met.
2024
After years of living abroad, I moved back in Sicily; it wasn't easy coming back but one thing always kept me going through tough times: crafting.
Whether it was through up-cycling and restyling old clothes or knitting and crocheting, creating gave me a space to be the most authentic version of myself, it gave me hope.
I took the jump and created my first capsule collection: "HOME" taking my own little corner in the fashion industry.
2025
On June 21st 2025, crochezla.com was officially launched and available to the public.
Throughout the summer, the studio had officially repurposed more than 10kg of fabrics and several second hand yarn skeins.
By the end of the year Cro.chez.la landed different collaborations both with local stores and with fellow international fiber artists through social media projects.
Our Mission
Cro.chez.la's mission is to create a safe and conscious space, for everyone to be the most authentic version of themselves through handmade clothing and accessories while keeping an eye on the impact the fashion industry has on the planet.
We work hard everyday to make as little waste as possible and save clothes from ending up in landfills by giving them a second life and turning them into yarn.
