COTESSI can be defined in many ways. Not confined to the category or value of existence, we find inspiration from things around us trivial but beautiful.
We reinterpret everyday objects with our own perception and present styles not bound by rules, bringing unexpected beauty to what we design.
 
COTESSI revolves around the unconventional operation system showing new collections from project to project and aspires to be a culture than just another fashion brand.












COTESSI takes sustainability to heart and aims to become a responsible and environmentally-aware member of the fashion industry.
In order to identify and minimize the inevitable negative by-products, we are making various efforts.






Small-scale & Hand-made

Our products are handmade in small quantities with extra care at the factories near our office in Seoul. This locational advantage enables us to be more attentive to every detail of the process from material production to final stitches and we can create a circular manufacturing system growing together with the local community.
Furthermore, we adhere to a pre-order system after the first batch of limited production so that we can minimize waste and redundancy.



Eco-friendly Minimalist Packaging

We designed a new type of package focusing on its fundamental function, ‘protection of items inside’, and deducted any conventional factors applied to emphasize a brand such as additional coating and multicolor prints. COTESSI packaging box is FSC-certified using only forest-friendly paper which differentiates ours from non-recyclable ones commonly found in fashion. The patented structure design of the box eliminates the use of any kind of plastic such as industrial or plastic tapes in the process of delivery.
