How to read a new collection
A new collection is always made up of two types of pieces, and telling them apart makes choosing much easier.
First, there are the reissues: shapes we keep because they work, offered in the season's materials and colours. Their advantage is decisive: the shape is identical, so the size is too. If you have already worn the style, you can order without hesitation.
Then there are the new shapes, the ones that didn't exist the previous season. They carry the most creative part of the collection. For these, always check the fit advice on the product page: runs small, true to size or runs large, as well as our size guide.
What changes from one season to the next
Three elements evolve, in order of visibility.
Colours come first: they instantly set the tone of a collection. Our leathers come in black, brown, chocolate, camel, taupe, ecru, nude, denim blue, and in platinum, gold and silver metallics.
Next come the materials. Beyond smooth leather, we work with nubuck, suede, patent leather, naplack, grained leather, glazed leather, metallic leathers, embossed leathers in python, tegu and croc effects, as well as natural raffia in the summer season.
Finally, the construction details: mesh work, cut-out fronts, multiple straps, cut-outs. These are what distinguish two styles with similar shapes. Find the full vocabulary in our shape guide.
Buy early in the season or wait
It's a fair question, and the answer depends on your priority.
Buying early in the season guarantees your size is available across all colours. This is particularly important if you wear a size at either end of the range (35 or 42) or if you are looking for a specific style for a set date, a wedding for example.
Waiting has the advantage of price, which is the whole point of our sale, but it means accepting a smaller choice. In practice, for a piece you genuinely need and will wear for several seasons, buying early in the season is the safest option.
Frequently asked questions
How often do Cosmoparis new arrivals come in?
Our collections evolve throughout the year, with regular arrivals rather than a single seasonal launch. This page brings together the latest pieces to go online.
How do I choose my size for a new arrival?
If it's a reissue of an existing style, the shape is identical and you can take your usual size. If it's a new shape, check the fit advice on the product page: runs small, true to size or runs large.
Is it better to buy early in the season?
If you wear a size at either end of the range or have a specific date to meet, yes: availability across all colours is at its highest early in the season.
