A new denim collection by Cos is partly made with previously worn garments by the brand.
This week, the H&M Group-owned brand launched Cos Remade, the brand’s first denim capsule collection crafted from 20 percent recycled cotton sourced from pre-owned Cos pieces.
The garments were collected through Cos Restore, the brand’s in-store garment-collection initiative to clean and repair gently used garments for resale. Cos launched the program in 2021 following a pilot in 2019 with The Laboratory, H&M Group’s innovation arm, and The Renewal Workshop, an Oregon-based company that extends the life of clothing from returns and deadstock.
For items that are beyond repair, Cos Restore explores recycling opportunities to transform unblended fabrics such as cotton and wool into new garments.
“The limited-edition collection gives fibers renewed purpose, reimagining wardrobe staples with a thoughtful fusion of utilitarian design and artistic expression,” the brand stated.
All fabrics used for Cos Remade contain 20 percent recycled cotton. Some are blended with 80 percent organic cotton. Others contain 60 percent organic cotton and 20 percent conventional cotton.
The five-piece women’s collection focuses on dark wash statement pieces including a boat-neck top with an integrated scarf and an elongated top made from a single piece of fabric that folds around the body. A funnel-neck jacket has the rounded and oversized silhouette of a bomber. Bottoms include barrel-leg trouser jeans and a straight midi skirt with a side slit, which can be layered or worn separately. Each garment is punctuated with white contrast stitching.
Cos Remade is available now on the brand’s European e-commerce platforms. Styles retail for 89 euros to 125 euros (approximately $93-$125).
The circular line is complemented by Cos’ regular spring denim line ranging from oversized shirt dresses and wet effect denim skirts to organic cotton wide-leg jeans and button-down shirts.
The brand has been pursing sustainable denim since 2020 when it launched its first line of jeans made with 100 percent organic cotton. A year later Cos launched men’s and women’s denim made solely of GRS- or RCS-certified recycled or GOTS- or OCS-certified organic cotton. Each piece was finished with rivet-free detailing to facilitate recycling at the end of its lifecycle.
