The house

CocCone makes one thing: bags you can carry every day without thinking about them.

The name is the whole brief. A cocoon is small, soft on the inside and firm on the outside — which is exactly what a bag should be. Room for a day’s worth of things, a lining that does not scuff what you put in it, and an outside that keeps its shape on the fifth month as well as the first.

What we look for

Every piece is judged on the same three points before it is offered here.

  • Leather that ages. It should soften with use and take on a patina, not crack or go shiny.
  • Hardware that stays tight. Zips, clasps and rings are the first things to fail on a bag; they are the first things we check.
  • A size for a real day. Big enough for a phone, a wallet, keys and the small things — not so big that it becomes luggage.

How we sell

Direct, and only online. There is no boutique markup and no shop in between. Shipping is on us wherever you are, and you have fourteen days to change your mind.

Who makes them

The bags are made for us by Dropleather, the leather goods workshop we work with. They make our pieces, check them and send them to you directly, which is why a parcel arrives from the workshop rather than from a warehouse of ours. The bags are designed in Morocco: we choose the shapes, the leather and the colourways, we set the prices, and the order is with us: if anything is wrong with a bag you write to us, and we put it right.
