The Designers

Julie and Gina

Gina Ferraraccio and Julie Dicterow both joined the fashion industry after attending Parsons New School of Design in New York in the hopes of making a difference in the world for both the style-conscious and the animals.

Gina founded Cri de Coeur in 2007 and by 2009 partnered with Julie whose similar design aesthetic and ethical values made for a perfect pairing. Press and buyers from around the world heralded the debut collection, and the brand has since established itself as the pioneering stylish, vegan accessories company.

Gina and Julie currently live in New York City.
