The COS creative teams pursue innovative and inspired approaches with each design, whether this be through the drape and pattern-cutting of a garment or the hand- painted development of a print. Innovation in material development is core to this process.

The repurposed cotton project came about from the question: What if we could recycle our own excess fabric into a new design? Working closely with a long-standing supplier in Turkey, one and half tonnes of 100% cotton o - cuttings were saved over the course of a year.

The cotton was then shredded, compacted, combed, spun, weaved, dyed and constructed into a new style; a 100% cotton sweatshirt.

The collection comprises of a menswear, womenswear and childrenswear sweatshirt in a tonal pallete of yellow.

Available this week in selected stores in Europe and North America.
