The abundance of well-known brands in the world fashion market provides a wide range of designer products. One of the world famous brands, Coccinelle, not only has a very informative history of development, but also produces masterpieces of fashionable art.
Let us consider in more detail how this company came into being, who is its creator, as well as the characteristics and types of the range of products.
Brand history
The Coccinelle brand, whose Russian-language name is pronounced “Coxinel”, bases its production process on luxury goods for women. Fashionable bags, stylish shoes and cool accessories - all this can be found in the huge collections of the brand.
The city of Parma became the birthplace of this brand, because it was in it, back in 1978, that the first small atelier called Coccinelle appeared. And even then the studio specialized in the manufacture of handbags and accessories for stylish fashionistas of the time.
The company was founded by the Italian couple Mazzieri, at the head of which was originally the father of the Giacomo family, but later his sons Angelo and Marco began to manage the company. But the management of the company in such a duet is short-lived and brand management has completely passed over to Angelo.
In the nineties, a rather dynamic development of the company began, and gradually the small Italian business became a true world legend and an international company producing exclusive goods for women.
The brand has many regular customers among celebrities, which provides it with additional original advertising in the world of stars and glamor. And not so long ago, among the fans of the company, Russian famous personalities, secular lionesses and fashionable women appeared, and the country itself became a stable market for the brand.
Product Features
The brand's products fall into the category of expensive goods that not every girl can afford. Of course, the appearance of products is very attractive, but does it correspond to such a high cost? Let us consider in more detail all the features of the brand.
The peculiarity of Coxinel production is that the brand launches four collections each year, each of which consists of three hundred copies of women's fashionable image details: handbags, belts, shoes and other accessories.
This is very convenient for those who wear products of this brand, since such an outlet of collections allows you to update various parts of your wardrobe at regular intervals, complementing the already familiar images with new unusual accessories.
In the manufacture of absolutely all products are used only materials of the highest quality, since the brand belongs to the luxury category. All seams are neat and smooth, and accessories are carefully fixed, with no traces of sizing.
We should also mention that in the winter of 2012 a collection developed by a Russian designer, specifically for this Italian brand, came into being. Alexander Terekhov, inspired by the style of Morocco, created several bulky bags and a clutch bag.
In addition, the brand actively cooperates with other young and already well-known brands from around the world.

Range
The range of products is so wide that sometimes you can get lost in the choice of a product, but it does not matter.Accessories and details of the image from the Coccinelle brand belong to the category of things with which it is simply impossible to make a mistake - any choice will be correct and justified.
Footwear
Coccinelle produces shoes of completely different models, so finding the right pair for any image is easy.
A lot of summer, winter and demi-season options for first-class shoe innovations will undoubtedly delight the beautiful fashionistas:
- Among the variety of the brand's shoe assortment there are quite a few classic models of shoes that will be an excellent addition to any business dress, you just need to choose the necessary heel height, toe shape and color.
- Sandals should be distinguished from summer shoes with heels - they are perfect for everyday life as well as for creating evening, elegant bow. Heels, even the highest, sandals are designed in a special way, allowing the foot to feel comfortable and saving feet from fatigue.
- Low-heeled sandals are no less good for summer, but they are simpler and more casual, so they are not suitable for creating evening wear. Décor in the form of braids, fringe, metal elements, wooden beads and small stones bring light ethnic motifs into the products.
- In addition, the range of collections of shoes from Coccinelle are models on the wedge, platform and flat sole. Boots, boots, ankle boots and other options - there are models for every taste.
Bags and accessories
At least a smaller number of bags and other accessories are available in the windows of Coccinelle boutiques. And absolutely each of them is made of natural materials and has a first-class quality.
The bags of this brand are amazing! The design of one model is completely different from the other, and what is most surprising is that even small, minor, at first glance, details do not intertwine.
Beautifully look models from the spring collection, which have a rectangular and volumetric appearance. It is thanks to the internal volume of the bag looks somewhat "pot-bellied." No less attractive models are trapezoidal with a stopper closure mechanism.
As a lock, a magnetic button or a latch with a swivel mechanism is used.
Women's clutch is an indispensable thing at gala events and cocktail parties. A small handbag with an unobtrusive elegant decor is exactly what you need to effectively complement the outfit without spoiling it.
Backpacks
Backpacks are very functional and practical parts, as they are able to fully replace the bag, while leaving your hands free. Since the backpack is behind, in the back, you can feel free and not restrain yourself in movement.
Backpacks, mainly presented in models of the same shape with an oval top and a flat bottom. This form makes them the most comfortable and roomy, since the inner space is quite voluminous.
Small parts are of fairly high quality, since the manufacturing is done by hand, and the process is carefully monitored. Strong lightning expensive samples, with dogs made of hard metal alloys protect locks from discrepancies and premature breakage.
In some models, the upper handles are fastened by sewing them inside the upper part, while the handles of other models are fastened on rather thick, strong metal rings of a small size.
Practically each model of a backpack is equipped with an external pocket, but their appearance is different. Some products have an integrated pocket with a small external zipper. The outer pocket is a separate, rather voluminous, detail, attached at the bottom of the backpack.
In addition, models of backpacks with a voluminous outer pocket have a lot of decorative elements in the form of leather stripes in the shape of women's lips, stars, clouds and funny emoticons.
Wallets
A purse is a valuable and necessary detail, as careful storage of cash, securities and cards in a safe place is very important in our time. Coccinelle wallets not only have all the listed functional features, but are also a beautiful accessory.
The small size of the wallet is especially good, since not all handbags are spacious and roomy, and this model is very tiny and fits perfectly even in a small clutch.
Large wallets are suitable for those who do not like crumpled and folded, even twice, bills. Oblong rectangular shape looks very interesting in the hand, so some large models can be used as a kind of clutch, putting there only the necessary tools.
As for the fasteners in Coxinel wallets, it is worth noting their reliability, since only high-quality zippers and sturdy, well-snap buttons are used.
Much less often wallets with a smell and model of the lock with "kisses" meet.
Some women of fashion prefer to purchase several variants of wallets that match the color and style of the bag, creating a single set. But this is not a necessity, since the wallet is not constantly visible and should not be combined with other accessories.
Optional accessories
The brand also produces many other additional accessories that help to clean up your purse and complement the image. Each accessory is made of high quality materials and has a fairly high wear resistance.
- In everyday use, the card holder is very convenient, in which you can store not only the business cards themselves, but also discount, and discount and even payment cards. The product has a leather binding and many individual transparent pockets, allowing you to quickly find the desired card.
- Beautifully look decorative belts, types of models which are suitable for diverse images. Classic trouser belts can be worn with jeans, elegant straps are suitable for light dresses, and wide massive models are well combined with outerwear.
It is worth remembering that the belt is not so much a beautiful accessory as a functional detail of the outfit.
- What is it that no women's handbag can do with it? Of course, this is a cosmetic bag! In the collections of Koksinel there are quite attractive stylish models, roomy and practical. Products have a rectangular shape, very dense surface and a fastener on a small lock.
All these small accessories not only simplify our life, but also decorate it, thanks to its aesthetic, pleasant and stylish design. Therefore, we can say with confidence that every girl will be glad to become the owner of one of them.
Clock
Such a stylish wrist accessory like a watch never goes unnoticed, so it is very important that it is stylish and fashionable. Of course, Coccinelle watches are not just beautiful and practical, but also quite versatile in combination with outfits.
Products have both metal bracelets and straps of other materials. Of course, the metal is the most practical, has greater wear resistance, and in the presence of a matte finish, it is resistant to scratches.
But other variants of the straps are no less practical. Suede and leather bracelets look beautiful, but you shouldn’t get a patent leather model, as it is prone to the appearance of cracks.
Decorations
Jewelry sometimes put an end to the dress, are a sort of element of completion, thanks to which the image looks complete and harmonious.
Let us consider in more detail what kind of decorations the famous brand offers us:
- Numerous models of earrings are in the range of Coccinelle. And neat studs, large pearls, and three-dimensional models with a fastener mechanism, and even long hanging products will appeal to absolutely all girls.Decorated with large stones, earrings will be poured in the ears, decorating and emphasizing the merits of a beautiful face.
- Necklaces and necklaces are quite voluminous and not every girl will be suitable. In addition to individual preferences, physiological features should also be taken into account - a massive decoration will look beautiful only on a slender long neck, and girls with fuller volumes should pay attention to long beads or elegant pendants.
- Bracelets are in many ways similar to necklaces, as they are often sold in a certain composition. And the same advices can be attributed to wrist jewelery as to neck accessories: volumetric models are good for thin girls, and graceful thin ones for full ones. However, it should not be overlooked that thin neat bracelets are often a sophisticated addition to the watch.
Many decorations are decorated with a special ceramic coating, some with precious and decorative stones of various shapes, and some with a simple ornament in the form of a pattern.
But absolutely each of them is treated with a special coating that protects the product from damage to the coating and its quick erasing, because it often happens that the deposition of jewelry reacts with the skin, is rubbed off, leaving unpleasant and very noticeable marks.
How to distinguish the original from a fake?
Like any other brand, Coccinelle accessories and bags are subject to massive copying. Counterfeits can be found in many online stores, as well as in the markets and in little-known city boutiques.
But how to distinguish the original from the copy?
- First of all, you should pay attention to the quality of products. It is unlikely that natural materials are used for making copies, therefore, most likely, the "linden" bags will be made of leatherette, and the jewelry made of cheap, painted metal.
-
Some fakes are made so accurately that only a first-class expert can distinguish them from the original. But what should an ordinary person do in such a situation? There is an exit! You must request a special certificate or license confirming the originality of the product. This license is absolutely all products of luxury brands.
-
And, of course, a copy can always be distinguished by value. Designer items always have prices that are much higher than the average, so when you see an overly low cost, you should strongly doubt the authenticity of the product.
Reviews
Exploring the vastness of portals with reviews of Coccinelle products, we can conclude that the majority of customers are satisfied with their acquisitions, admire fashionable design and good quality products. But there are those who do not cease to find fault with even the smallest and most minor shortcomings.
For example, some girls consider models of shoes with high straight heels very uncomfortable, noting the rapid occurrence of fatigue and unpleasant sensations in the foot. While shoes and wedge sandals have pretty good reviews and are considered the most suitable for everyday use.
Discontent is expressed by those who consider products from the brand unnecessarily expensive. After all, every girl wants to afford a stylish new dress with a loud name, but not everyone has the means to do so.
But the greater number of customers, nevertheless, praise the brand, without ceasing to admire the beauty of design, the quality of materials and accessories, the convenience and practicality of products.
