Cosa Piora is an amalgamation of cosa, Spanish for ‘thing,’ and fiore, Italian for ‘flower.’ Put together they mean, “Each thing that blooms.” In Korean, Cosa Piora becomes a poetic phrase filled with rich meaning. The words, “꽃아 피어라” (Cosa Piora), directly beckons a flower to heed its intense innate desire to bloom. Such is the philosophical sentiment that Cosa Piora was established upon:

"Live remarkably. Thrive on. Let life bloom."

All great things start small. And even a small touch can bloom into tremendous results. When that touch is something as inspired as the products of Cosa Piora, the inspiration has the ability to unveil the myriad unique and special qualities of a man.

Cosa Piora’s philosophy that the smallest and finest touch can bring tremendous results,imparts to our customers a mode of creative expression. At once both classic and trendy, this newfound form of expression brings with it a freedom of spirit, and fine taste that can only come from Cosa Piora.

The founder of Cosa Piora, Patrick Shim, had the intrinsic curiosity of a renaissance man, traversing the world with his interests in fashion, mechanics, and excellence. This desire to explore led him to self-tailor his own clothes and create original accessories as a means of self-expression.

In all his pursuits, Patrick noticed that even the grandest achievements often came down to the ingenuity and creativity of an individual, and an appreciation for the finest details. This core belief led to his pursuit to revamp the lapel pin from an underrated and lesser utilized apparel item, into a full-fledged instrument of creative expression.

The possibilities that a re-imagined lapel pin could provide, gave Patrick the impetus to create what would become Cosa Piora’s signature masterpiece, the “Lapel Flower.” The sheer scale of product innovation, coupled with an astonishingly high standard of quality is now bringing the entire business to the next level of progression. Simultaneously, the future of men’s apparel possibilities has been reimagined with this fine new creation.

Whether on his lapel, or his hat, sunglasses, or socks, any small aspect of a man’s apparel has the power of both self-expression and self-determination. Far from hidden, these vital details embody wit, creativity, strength of character, and even humanity. The very attributes of an admirable and authentic man.

Cosa Piora believes that man should not just draw inspiration, but that he should also be a source of inspiration to others. Man was born to inspire. Every Cosa Piora product contains our commitment to uncover ever new forms of expression and to inspire the world around us.
