The Italian husband and wife team of  Ugo and Valeria Campello founded Cosabella in 1983 with their partner Sergio Oxman.  Known for their bodysuits in the mid eighties, the apparel company grew into becoming the guru for diverse super comfortable collections in lingerie and casual lounge wear. 

The Italian manufactured company continues to produces some of the hottest trends with a great sense of American design while keeping with the traditions of italian craftsmanship. Cosabella evokes all of the feelings from the tropics.  Glancing at Cosabella's summer collection of printed separates, one cannot help but feel the warm crystal clear water of the island.  Colors in rich chocolate, corals and greens send the senses into a visual overload!  The company that makes the finest lingerie has ventured into swimwear and as their second season approaches, this lingerie giant will once again be known for its“beautiful things”. 

Cosabella introduced Cosabella Mare in the summer of 2005.  The collection features diverse basics in vibrant colors and prints with sexy little detailed embellishments.

“Cosabella Mare is a very important launch for our company.  The fit and colors of our intimate apparel collection are so popular with our customers that it was a natural progression that we design a swimwear collection that incorporates these attributes, ” said Ugo Campello, Vice President of Cosabella.

This season, the Cosabella Mare line is a reflection of designer Ugo Campello's travels throughout India and Africa.  This means bold prints and intense colors such as tropical green, orange and sky blue, amazing texture choices, special attention going to trims with beaded embellishments, natural shells and hardware that make the collection stand apart.
