Brand history
The Coccinelle brand, whose Russian-language name is pronounced “Coxinel,” bases its manufacturing process on luxury goods designed 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 in it, back in 1978, the first small atelier called Coccinelle appeared. And even then, the studio specialized in the manufacture of handbags and accessories for stylish fashionistas of that time.
The company was founded by the Italian couple Mazzieri, which was initially headed by 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 did not last long and brand management was completely transferred to Angelo.
In the nineties, a rather dynamic development of the company began, and gradually the small Italian business became a real world legend and an international company producing exclusive products for women.
The brand has many regular customers among celebrities, which provides it with additional peculiar advertising in the world of stars and glamor.And not so long ago, Russian famous personalities, socialite and fashionable women appeared among the company's fans, and the country itself became a stable market for the brand.
Product Features
The brand’s products belong to the category of expensive goods that not every girl can afford. Of course, the appearance of the products is very attractive, but does it correspond to such a high cost? Let's consider in more detail all brand features.
A feature of Coxinel’s production is that the brand launches four collections each year, each of which consists of three hundred copies of women's fashionable details of the image: bags, belts, shoes and other accessories.
This is very convenient for those who wear products of this brand, since such an outlet of the collections allows updating various parts of the wardrobe with constant periodicity, supplementing already familiar images with new unusual accessories.
In the manufacture of absolutely all products, materials of exclusively the highest quality are used, since the brand belongs to the luxury category. All seams are neat and even, and the accessories are carefully fixed, without signs of sizing.
It is worth mentioning that in the winter of 2012 a collection was developed that was developed by a Russian designer, especially for this Italian brand. Inspired by the style of Morocco, Alexander Terekhov created several bulk bags and a clutch.
In addition, the brand actively collaborates with other young and already well-known brands from around the world.

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 image details from Coccinelle brand belong to the category of things with which it is simply impossible to make mistakes - any choice will be right and justified.
Footwear
Coccinelle produces shoes of completely different models, so choosing the right pair for any look is not difficult.
Many summer, winter and demi-season options of first-class shoe novelties will undoubtedly please beautiful fashionistas:
- Among the variety of the brand’s shoe assortment, there are quite a few classic models of shoes that will be a great addition to any business outfit, you just need to choose the right heel height, toe shape and color.
- Sandals should be distinguished from summer shoes with heels - they are perfect for both everyday life and for creating an evening, elegant bow. Heels, even the tallest sandals, are designed in a special way, allowing the foot to feel comfortable and keeping feet from fatigue.
- Sandals with low soles are no less good for the summer, but more simple and everyday, so they are not suitable for creating an evening outfit. The decor in the form of braids, fringe, metal elements, wooden beads and small stones add light ethnic motifs to the products.
- In addition, Coccinelle's range of shoe collections includes wedge, platform, and flat models. Boots, boots, ankle boots and other options - there are models for every taste.
Bags & Accessories
No less number of bags and other accessories are available on the windows of Coccinelle boutiques. And absolutely every one of them is made of natural materials and has first-class quality.
Bags of this brand are something amazing! The design of one model is completely different from the other, and what is most surprising is that even some small, seemingly insignificant details are not intertwined.
Models from the spring collection look beautiful, which have a rectangular and three-dimensional appearance. Thanks to the internal volume of the bag looks somewhat "pot-bellied". No less attractive are the trapezoidal models with a locking mechanism.
As a lock, a magnetic button or a latch with a rotary mechanism is used.
A female clutch is an indispensable thing at gala events and cocktail parties. A small bag with unobtrusive elegant decor is exactly what you need to effectively complement the outfit without spoiling it.
Rucksacks
Backpacks are a very functional and practical part, 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 more free and not restrain yourself in movement.
Backpacks are 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 internal space is quite voluminous.
Small parts are of fairly high quality, since the manufacture is done manually, and the process itself is carefully monitored. Strong zippers of expensive samples with dogs made of hard metal alloys protect the locks from discrepancy and premature breakage.
The fastening of the upper handles in some models is done by stitching them inside the upper part, while the handles of other models are mounted on rather thick, strong metal rings of a small size.
Almost every backpack model has an external pocket, but their appearance varies. Some products have a built-in pocket with a small external zipper. The external pocket is a separate, rather voluminous, part attached to the bottom of the backpack.
In addition, models of backpacks with a voluminous external pocket have many decorative elements, in the form of leather stripes in the form of women's lips, stars, clouds and funny emoticons.
Wallets
A wallet is a valuable and necessary detail, since the careful storage of cash, securities and cards in a safe place is very important nowadays. Coccinelle wallets not only have all the listed features, but are also a beautiful accessory.
The small size of the wallet is especially good, because not all handbags are spacious and roomy, and such a model is very tiny and can fit even in a small clutch.
Large wallets are suitable for those who do not like wrinkled and folded, even doubled, bills. The oblong rectangular shape looks very interesting in the hand, so some large models can be used as a kind of clutch by placing only the necessary tools there.
As for the fasteners for Coxinel wallets, it is worth noting their reliability, since only high-quality zippers and strong, well-latched buttons are used.
Wallets with a smell and a lock model with a “kiss” are much less common.
Some fashionistas prefer to purchase several wallet options that match the color scheme and style of the bag, creating a single set. But this is not a necessity, since the wallet is not constantly in sight and should not be combined with other accessories.
Optional accessories
The brand also produces many other additional accessories that help to clean up the purse and complement the image. Each accessory is made of high quality materials and has a fairly high wear resistance.
- In everyday use, a business card holder is very convenient, in which you can store not only business cards themselves, but also discount cards, discount and even payment cards. The product has a leather binding and many separate transparent pockets that allow you to quickly find the necessary card.
- Decorative belts look beautiful, the varieties of models of which are suitable for diverse images. Classic trouser belts can also be worn with jeans, graceful straps are suitable for light dresses, and wide massive models go well with outerwear.
It is worth remembering that the belt is not so much a beautiful accessory as a functional detail of the outfit.
- What does not a single woman’s handbag do without? Of course, this is a cosmetic bag! The Coxinel collections have quite attractive stylish models, roomy and practical. Products have a rectangular shape, a very dense surface and a clasp on a small lock.
All these small accessories not only simplify our life, but also decorate it, thanks to their aesthetic, pleasant and stylish design. Therefore, it is safe to say 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, therefore it is very important that it be stylish and fashionable. Of course, Coccinelle watches are not only beautiful and practical, but also quite versatile in combination with outfits.
Products have both metal bracelets and straps made of other materials. Of course, the metal is the most practical, has more wear resistance, and in the presence of a matte finish it is resistant to scratches.
But other options for straps are no less practical. Suede and leather bracelets look beautiful, but you should not buy a model from patent leather, as it is prone to the rapid appearance of cracks.
Jewelry
Jewelry sometimes put an end to the outfit, are a sort of element of completion, thanks to which the image looks holistic and harmonious.
Let's consider in more detail what kind of jewelry the famous brand offers us:
- A large number of models of earrings are in the Coccinelle assortment. Neat studs, and large pearls, and voluminous models with a clasp mechanism, and even long hanging products will appeal to absolutely all girls. Decorated with large stones, the earrings will sparkle in the ears, decorating and emphasizing the virtues of a beautiful face.
- Necklaces and necklaces are quite voluminous and are not suitable for every girl. In addition to individual preferences, physiological features should also be taken into account - a massive jewelry will look beautiful only on a thin long neck, and girls with fuller volumes should pay attention to long beads or elegant pendants.
- Bracelets are much like necklaces, as they are often sold in some composition. And to wrist jewelry you can carry the same tips as to accessories for the neck: voluminous models are good for thin girls, and graceful thin ones are for full ones. However, one should not ignore the fact that thin neat bracelets are often a sophisticated addition to watches.
Many jewelry are decorated with a special ceramic coating, some with precious and decorative stones of various shapes, and some with a simple ornament, applied in the form of a picture.
But absolutely each of them is treated with a special coating that protects the product from damage to the coating and its quick erasure, because it often happens that the spraying of jewelry reacts with the skin, wipes, leaving unpleasant and very noticeable traces.
How to distinguish an original from a fake?
Like any other brand's product, Coccinelle accessories and bags are subject to mass copying. Fakes can be found in many online stores, as well as in 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 to create copies, therefore, most likely, “linden” bags will be made of faux leather, and jewelry made of cheap, painted metal.
-
Some fakes are made so precisely 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. Such a license are absolutely all products of luxury brands.
-
Well, of course, a copy can always be distinguished by value.Designer clothes always have prices that are much higher than average, so when you see too low a price, you should strongly doubt the authenticity of the product.
Reviews
Studying the open spaces of Coccinelle product reviews portals, we can conclude that the majority of customers are satisfied with their acquisitions, admire the fashionable design and good quality of the products. But there are those who do not stop to find fault with even the smallest and most insignificant shortcomings.
For example, some girls find high-heeled shoes very uncomfortable, noting the rapid onset of fatigue and discomfort in the foot. While shoes and wedge sandals have pretty good reviews and are considered the most suitable for everyday use.
Dissatisfaction is also expressed by those who consider brand products unreasonably expensive. After all, every girl wants to afford a stylish new thing with a big name, but not everyone has the means to do so.
But a greater number of customers nevertheless praise the brand, not ceasing to admire the beauty of design, the quality of materials and accessories, the convenience and practicality of products.
