ABOUT COSSU - INDEPENDENT ITALIAN LEATHER HANDBAG RETAILER

The Soft Touch Of Classic Italian Chic In Sussex, England.

"Inspired by Italian style, our handbags
offer premium quality and beautiful design"

Our Cossu Signature

Our signature soft leather begins with nature itself. Each handbag is dyed using natural tannins drawn from bark, roots, wood, and fruit. A traditional, chemical-free approach to vegetable-tanned leather.

Every piece then goes through a careful drying and spin-drying process, softening the leather naturally to create the buttery, lived-in texture Cossu is known for.

Finally, our artisans hand-wax and iron each bag, sealing in colour, deepening the patina, and protecting the leather without synthetic treatments. Because every step is done by hand, no two bags are ever exactly alike - subtle variations in tone and texture are part of the process, giving each piece its own quiet personality.

Buttery-Soft. Lived-In. Effortless.

The result is naturally soft leather that feels incredible from the very first wear, with a vintage-inspired finish that only improves with time.

Designed to be used and loved, our leather goods develop a richer patina the more they become part of your everyday life.

Classic Chic Style Combined With Functionality

It’s what we aim for every leather handbag we produce. Call it a hallmark, it’s in every bag we offer — whether a handmade leather clutch or cute pouch. Choose from traditional and contemporary designs, and select the perfect handbag for your occasion.

GIANNA COSSU

Meet the Founder

Cossu was born from Gianna’s Italian heritage and her lifelong love of the effortless elegance of Italian style. Growing up with that influence, she has always admired the way Italian women make timeless style feel so natural — understated, confident and beautifully considered.

That feeling is at the heart of Cossu. Gianna carefully chooses Italian leather handbags made in Italy, combining beautiful craftsmanship with practical, everyday design. From soft Italian leather to handwoven details, each piece is selected to be worn, loved and enjoyed for years rather than simply follow a passing trend.
