Focusing on sustainability, the COS' FW20 collection utilizes environmentally friendly fabrics while paying attention to reusing, repurposing and recycling. Materials are made of plastic waste from the ocean, and zero-waste folding techniques are applied to leather bags. Recycled nylon is seen throughout in lightweight pouches, while boots are crafted with chrome-free leather and accessories feature recycled silver and quartz.

Profile
COS, Collection Of Style, is for men and women who want high end design and good quality at an affordable price. Since our launch in 2007, COS has opened over 40 stores across Europe, each one placed in a carefully considered location with a design concept that preserves buildings’ original features whilst creating a modern gallery space for our collection.
Always exploring our original concept of favouring style over fashion, COS appreciates timeless design that lives beyond the season. Merging traditional methods with new techniques and innovative fabrics, we work hard to create fashion pieces that look and feel at once classic and modern. We hope you enjoy the attention to detail shown in every garment and the wide breadth of inspiration that defines our collections.
COS likes functional design crafted from simple ideas.
