CO|TE, an independent brand founded in 2010 by Tomaso Anfossi and Francesco Ferrari, blends craftsmanship and contemporaneity in its collections, rooted in the tradition of "Made in Italy." 

Evoking refuge and protection, CO|TE stands out for a linear aesthetic that tells a captivating visual story. Each piece, a result of meticulous research into forms and materials, best expresses the personality of the wearer. The choice of fabrics plays a central role, maintaining the desired volumes during the design of silhouettes and even after the creation of the garments. 

The tailored shirt is the heart of the designers' stylistic vision, with a creative process fueled by a constant exchange of ideas, giving life to creations where colors and shapes blend harmoniously, reflecting the dual perspective of the designers. 

CO|TE is a journey woven with care and dedication, manifesting its unique identity in every detail, fabric, and creation, embracing the philosophy of tailoring tradition with a touch of modernity and creativity. 

In English, COTE means: 

COTE UK: /kəʊt/ (koht) US: (kōt) 

1. shelter for birds, small animals 

2. british Dialect: a cottage; a small house. 

    

In Italian, the same word describes a now rare object:

The designers appreciate the contrasts and connections between the two meanings: a refuge for birds and small animals, and a bold tool for sharpening.
