Start up - Innovative brand

Tbilisi, Georgia

Founded by two Georgian women, COSMO was born out of a passion for authenticity, storytelling, and conscious creation. Each bag is crafted by hand in our own workshop using carefully selected materials such as Crazy Horse leather, suede, and innovative grape seed leather — connecting centuries-old traditions with new sustainable practices. COSMO isn’t just about fashion — it’s about emotion. Every piece carries a story, a purpose, and a spirit. Our brand stands for accessibility without compromise: high-quality, small-batch production that is ethical, affordable, and original. Currently operating 8 stores across Georgia and expanding internationally, we are open to partnerships with buyers, fashion agents, concept stores, and creatives who share our values in slow fashion and meaningful design. Let’s craft something beautiful together — from Tbilisi to the world.
