Giving a new future to pre-loved COS clothing, COS’ garment-collection initiative remains dedicated to repairing and recycling garments to extend the lifecycle of its collections. While the COS Restore initiative, founded in 2021, meticulously cleans and repairs gently used garments, ready to be re-sold and loved for years to come. For items that are beyond repair, COS explores recycling opportunities to transform unblended fabrics such as cotton and wool into new garments.

COS REMADE introduces the brand’s first denim capsule, comprising five versatile womenswear styles crafted from 20% collected, pre-loved cotton pieces by COS. The limited-edition collection gives fibres renewed purpose, reimagining wardrobe staples with a thoughtful fusion of utilitarian design and artistic expression.

Building on the brand’s commitment to craftsmanship and quality, the collection features statement pieces including an elongated top made from a single piece of fabric that elegantly falls around the body using fold techniques, a boat-neck top with an integrated scarf, and a rounded funnel-neck jacket. Styled as sets with the barrel leg trouser or straight-line skirt, or layered as separates, the collection offers silhouettes that embody an effortless, timeless style.
