Collection Coccinelle

History, philosophy and style of the Coccinelle brand

Founded in 1978 in the small town of Sala Baganza, in Italy’s Parma province, Coccinelle was born from Giacomo Mazzieri’s vision of crafting high-quality leather goods that unite the prestige of Italian craftsmanship with accessibility for a wider circle of women. The brand’s name—Italian for “ladybird”—was chosen with intent, evoking charm, delicacy and good fortune, and encapsulating the values at the heart of its philosophy.

Coccinelle’s style has remained true to its aesthetic for years. Its designs are marked by minimalist lines, refined details and a modern silhouette, all harmoniously interwoven with a sense of classic elegance. While the brand evolves with current trends, it consistently retains its recognisable character. Within the collection, products can be found that blend functionality with considered design, while expressing a contemporary, feminine spirit.

Handbags, footwear and accessories – the women’s collection by Coccinelle

At the heart of the Coccinelle women’s collection are handbags, which have long defined the brand’s identity. Within the carefully curated Gomez selection, a wide range of styles can be found, including shoppers, hobo bags, buckets, structured top-handle bags, shoulder bags in various sizes, crossbody styles and evening clutches. Each silhouette reflects the brand’s design language, where classic refinement meets contemporary form. Thoughtfully constructed with an emphasis on detail, Coccinelle handbags combine elegance with functionality, offering pieces that resonate with current trends while embracing individual expression.

Among the many handbag lines available, particular highlights include:

• Arlettis – a silhouette inspired by 1970s aesthetics, distinguished by its refined shape and a clasp styled as an inverted “C”; a lasting choice for those drawn to retro references and modern classics.

• C-ME – defined by a striking shape and jewellery-like clasp woven from interlocking “C” initials; designed for women seeking an accessory that enhances personal style.

• DEW – an elegant line characterised by clean geometry and a pared-back aesthetic; a sophisticated companion to formal ensembles.

• Beat Soft – a practical yet stylish handbag in supple grained leather, created with the rhythm of daily life in mind.

The Coccinelle offering also includes meticulously crafted footwear and accessories, designed to complement the collection while remaining true to the brand’s refined, feminine sensibility.
