COSCA exports

COSCA exports, is a Berlin-based streetwear fashion brand, which draws its roots from a rich blend of European influences. The brand originated as an Instagram moodboard, inspired by iconic mobster movies, Italian scenery, vintage automobiles, and the glamorous allure of la dolce vita. Although founded in Germany, COSCA exports celebrates a diverse heritage, combining Italian style and vibes, British royalty and tradition, French elegance, and exceptional manufacturing from Portugal. This eclectic mix of cultural elements has shaped the distinct identity and aesthetics of our globally inspired and operating streetwear brand. The Sicilian word cosca comes from the crown of spiny, closely folded leaves on plants with a bloom in the middle such as the artichoke. The leaves symbolize the tightness and loyalty of crime-family members. The bloom in the middle can be seen as the secrets of the family or the boss that is protected by its members. Nevertheless we are not using cosca to sympathize with mafia gangs but rather to build a group of people and a community that shares the same taste and interest in a certain lifestyle and are bond together like a big family. The Carciofo Social Club is our hommage to the old Italian social clubs in Italy and New York. These clubs were places where family members met, drank coffee and started their day together.
