COS unveils the new Monumenttote – a modern classic distinguished by architectural formand exquisite materiality.

Designed in COS’London-based atelier, the tote is crafted from supple Italian leather, selectedfor its depth of character and longevity. Inspired by the elongated silhouette of a vintagedoctor’s bag, its semi-structured form is shaped by meticulous attention to proportion andconstruction. Winged sides create a directional east-west shape, subtly referencing mid-century architectural codes, while a full-length sunken zip closure lends a clean, contemporaryfinish.

Designed for comfort and ease of wear,shoulder-length handles sit effortlessly under the arm. Purposefully minimal hardware completes a considered expression of enduring style andthoughtful craftsmanship, while inside a discreet zip pocket and slim leather zip pullsoffer purposeful functionality. Advancing the modern wardrobe, an exploration of surface textures introduces depth anddimension to the Monumenttote, launching in mahogany and brown lizard-effect leather, available in store and online at cos.com this March.
