Costo—Supporting the Planet

Originally located in an old coal cellar in central Helsinki, Costo was founded in 2006 out of a lack of attractive accessories at affordable prices.

Focusing on sustainable solutions, Costo has come to stand for quality materials and unique cuts. The Finnish brand draws inspiration from history as it uses recycled materials in the application of excellent craftsmanship.

Costo produces purses, wallets, and belts. The biggest success story has been the Costo hat, which not only has adopted names from Papuan tribes but is also worn by some aboriginal peoples of Papua New Guinea.

Costo employs natural fibers and high grade leather in the construction of each hat. Handcrafted in Tallinn, Estonia—just 80km from Helsinki—Costo hats fit all ages, groups, and lifestyles.
