COS launches online boutique

COS is once again opening a new boutique, but this time it’s online. The retail chain which was founded by Swedish group H&M has just launched its first e-store at www.cosstores.com. Since last Friday, its sophisticated and casual-chic collections can be delivered to 18 countries in Europe.

Cos e-store

The site, which has the same minimalist look as the stores, offers COS products for women, men and children. This is a new step forward for the relatively new brand, which opened several stores in 2011 and will soon be running 42 stores across Europe.
