“We want to create timeless, yet trendy garments; beautiful, yet ethical.”

About COSSAC & Agata
In 2014, after working for both high end and high street labels and with some distinguished designers for LFW, and witnessing fast fashion’s destructive influence in the industry she loves, Agata decided to launch her ECO-HOT label, COSSAC.

COSSAC promotes the minimalistic concept of Capsule Wardrobes, and offers a curated selection of contemporary threads and redefined basics with a sass edge. Sustainably designed and ethically produced, each quality garment is intended to be transeasonal, with the aim of minimising wastefulness and maximising usefulness.

Our Ethos
We are committed to slow fashion and sustainable design. Transparency, sustainability and social well-being is at the core of our business. We reject the mainstream practices of fast fashion that produces cheap, low-quality and disposable trend items by exploiting workers. COSSAC exists to offer women design-led conscious fashion to help drive awareness of the negative social and environmental impacts of the fashion industry and make it easy for women to make better choices.

We think sustainable fashion that no one wants to buy or wear is 100% wasteful. That’s why we design clothing that customers actually want to wear. The silhouette celebrates the feminine form but is classic enough so that our garments are worn and cherished beyond the current season. Our production runs are limited to minimise waste and deadstock.

Fabrics
We use sustainable materials in our collections such as organic cotton, Tencel and modal. In selecting the fabrics, we place a lot of importance on how it is produced and the extent of its impact on the environment, such as how much water and toxic chemicals is used. All fabrics selected are ethically-sourced, organic or have low environmental impact. We are committed to continuous improvement and our goal is to use materials that are 100% eco-friendly. We are working towards this goal and are educating ourselves daily on sustainable production methods so we can make our clothing as green as possible.

Factories
We work exclusively with small factories with whom we’ve built close relationships with. All production is carried out in Europe, in Portugal and Turkey in ISO and GOTS-certified factories. This enables us to reduce the time, cost and eco footprint of transporting the garments.

We also believe in supply chain transparency as ethical treatment of workers is as important to us as our environmental impact. We use accredited factories because we care about the people who help make our clothes. We want to make sure that factory employees are working in fair and just conditions and are not being exploited in any form. Every supplier and factory we work with holds certificates assuring our high work standards and expectations are being followed. We regularly travel to our factory partners to make sure the processes are overseen and are compliant with ethical production standards.

While we take the concepts of sustainability and the ethical treatment of garment workers seriously, we deal with all the heavy stuff so you won’t have to.
