Coccinelle reveals Fall/Winter 2024 collection
Coccinelle introduces its Fall/Winter 2024 collection
Italian leathergoods company Coccinelle has presented its Fall/Winter 2024 collection, inspired by the Punk Academia theme and featured during Milan Fashion Week.
Punk Academia is an irreverent mix and match of contemporaneity and tradition. With this collection, Coccinelle said it aims to “communicate the importance of being unique, showing your own personality and letting go of clichés”.
Punk Academia embraces rules, and the desire to break them and traditions, and Coccinelle’s latest collection embodies this dual spirit.
According to the brand, the Fall/Winter 2024 collection offers bags that “reinterpret style codes” and feature a palette of colors influenced by the neoclassical context of wainscoting and student uniforms, as well as the underground culture inspired by the interiors of London’s subways.

The brand’s lines are enriched with alternative materials. Coccinelle’s grained leather transforms into College Patch through a play on handcrafted inlays, recalling the typical green, burgundy, royal blue, and orange preppy glam uniforms.
On the other hand, soft and antiqued Vintage Leather as well as the smooth and glossy Shiny Calf evoke new sensory emotions: the former gives the bags a pleasing vintage appearance, while the latter recalls the shiny and lacquered surfaces of wainscoting and desks.
Innovative patterns and finishes are meticulously developed: the Shearling, now environmentally friendly; the Nylon, now padded and the Monogram, now inspired by the corduroy texture of Brit-chic jackets and trousers.
The Coccinelle Campus is described as “halfway between a crossbody and a messenger, functional yet sophisticated, a university bag that defies conventions”. It features zips and pockets and underlining the Punk Academia influence is the gold metal plectrum, a distinctive Coccinelle hallmark. It also features on the Coccinelle Dew daily bag, this season in Shiny Calf and Winter Monogram, a versatile bag that can be adapted to both formal and casual occasions while Beat has a casual-chic vibe in brushed calfskin.
A metal plectrum revolutionizes even the tasseled loafer – an iconic element of the freshman’s school uniform – now featuring an original touch with a two-tone sole, reimagined in the Coccinelle style.
The Smart to Go line includes backpacks, totes, wallets, and crossbody bags, resilient and lightweight, luggage-oriented, made of nylon and Monogram canvas.
Coccinelle is also introducing a capsule collection in collaboration with ACBC, a leading provider of sustainability services for the fashion and textile industries, specializing in B2B green consulting, design and production of responsible products.
The new collection consists of three sneakers models realized with responsible and innovative materials. The first model, C CITY 365, is available in two versions, with or without eco fur inside. The second model, C STYLE 70, is a retro-inspired sneaker while the third, C RUN 01, is an innovative running sneaker.
