Is COS fast fashion? Structurally, yes. Owned by the H&M Group, it operates on a mass-market scale with global production. However, it performs better than its parent brand by focusing on 'timeless' design rather than micro-trends, using a higher percentage of organic/recycled materials, and investing in circular programs like 'COS Resell'. We rate them 'Fair' (2.5)—they are a better choice than ultra-fast fashion, but they still lack the labor rights guarantees and small footprint of a truly sustainable 'Excellent' brand.
