From Backpacks to Apparel: côte&ciel Reimagines Its DNA With “UNIFORM”

Summary

• côte&ciel launched its debut clothing line, “UNIFORM,” translating its architectural bag design into apparel
• Releasing November 7 via the brand, the five-piece lineup emphasizes functionality, adaptability and individuality

côte&ciel has unveiled its first ready-to-wear capsule, “UNIFORM,” marking a bold expansion beyond the Paris-based brand’s renowned accessories. Known for its architectural sensibilities and technical precision, côte&ciel translates its design DNA into a system of garments conceived as daily essentials for creatives. Designed as a framework for movement, adaptability and focus, the collection reflects the brand’s philosophy that clothing, like its iconic bags, should be both utilitarian and expressive.

The range is framed as a study in the paradox of singularity and multiplicity, where shared values of form and function coexist with the individuality of each wearer. Each piece in the collection embodies côte&ciel’s core codes of modularity, structure and transformation. Multifaceted pocket systems, modular compartments and silhouettes that shift from structured to organic with movement echo the brand’s heritage in carry design.

The five-piece system includes the Point Jacket, Arc Gilet, Vertex Poncho, Coordinate Pants and Radius T-Shirt — each directly inspired by the brand’s most iconic backpacks: the ISAR, NILE and SORMONNE. From the pleated pocket system of the Point Jacket to the fluid geometry of the Vertex Poncho, these garments reinterpret spatial ideas from accessories into wearable forms, offering both protection and adaptability.

The collection will launch globally on November 7, available exclusively through côte&ciel online and its Paris flagship store. Starting November 12, “UNIFORM” will also be stocked at select retailers.
