How Cozzette decides things

Three decisions that shape every piece — why nothing is made in advance, why there are eight sizes, and what happens to the cloth left on the table. To make girls everywhere find clothes they love, or clothes of the moment, and actually be able to afford them.

No customer stories yet. Cozzette has not delivered a garment, so there is nothing honest to write about one. The figures below are policies you can check against the rest of this site, not results anyone has claimed. Real customer stories go here as soon as the first orders ship.

Nothing is made until somebody orders it

0 pieces held in stock · 3–5 days to sew · 7–9 days to your door

The problem: A small clothing label normally has to guess. You pick the sizes and colours you think will sell, pay for all of them up front, and then discount whatever you guessed wrong about. The guessing is expensive, and the cost of it goes into the price of everything that did sell.
What Cozzette does: Cozzette holds no stock at all. A garment is cut after you order it, from cloth chosen for that run. There is no warehouse, no season of unsold pieces, and nothing that has to be marked down to clear space.
What it costs to hold to: It is the reason the prices work. It also means waiting: three to five days in the workroom before anything is posted, and seven to nine days to reach you in Nigeria or Ghana. That wait is the honest cost of not guessing, and it is on the homepage rather than buried in the delivery terms.

Eight sizes, all the way to 4XL

8 sizes, XS to 4XL · every band published in cm

The problem: A size 10 is not a measurement. Four shops will cut four different garments and call them all a 10, which is why buying clothes online means ordering two sizes and sending one back. And a great many labels stop at XL, as though bodies above it were an afterthought.
What Cozzette does: Cozzette cuts eight sizes, XS to 4XL, and publishes what each one means in centimetres, where you can check yourself against it before you buy. 3XL and 4XL are cut from the same patterns as everything else, not added as an afterthought. On Premium there is no size at all — you give four measurements and the piece is cut to those.
What it costs to hold to: Grading every design up to 4XL is real work for a workroom this small. The alternative is a return rate that costs more, and a customer who was told she is between sizes as though that were her fault.

The offcuts become a collection instead of a bin bag

5 collections · 1 cut entirely from what the other 4 left behind

The problem: Laying a pattern always leaves cloth over. In most workrooms that offcut is waste — paid for with the roll, thrown away, and quietly priced into everything else. For a company whose whole goal is girls being able to afford the clothes, throwing away cloth you already paid for is the wrong instinct.
What Cozzette does: Offcuts is a collection in its own right, made from what First Cut, School Run, Harmattan and Sunday Best leave behind. Because the pieces come from whatever is left, no two are the same and none are priced as full-price garments.
What it costs to hold to: It cannot be planned, which means it cannot be promised — the collection is only ever as big as the month's offcuts allow, and a piece that sells out will not come back. In exchange there is a genuinely cheaper way into the label that is not a sale, and a great deal less cloth in the bin.

Nobody has received a Cozzette piece yet, so there is nothing real to quote. This section stays empty rather than borrowing someone else’s words — when the first orders land, what people actually say goes here, with their names on it.
