No OOTD is complete without a bag. Yes, bags are first and foremost practical accessories meant to carry your daily essentials, but you don’t have to sacrifice style over practicality. And that’s exactly why this one particular puffer bag is selling out.
Meet the COS Quilted Bag, the internet’s latest fashion must-have merging both function and flair. The bag has been trending all over social media, especially on TikTok with #cosbag currently at 91.6 million views. It’s officially the newest it bag, and it’s actually quite affordable—if only it wasn’t sold out all the time.
What Is the COS Quilted Bag?
COS, short for Collection of Style, is a fashion brand that happens to be a sister company of H&M. But unlike its fast-fashion sister, COS operates independently and focuses on creating timeless, minimalistic, and most importantly long-lasting designs for both men and women.
The COS Quilted Bag was first released in 2021 and sold out almost immediately. All thanks to the influence of BLACKPINK’s Jennie Kim who was spotted wearing the bag on several occasions in her Instagram stories.
K-pop fans and fashion enthusiasts alike quickly flocked to their nearest COS stores to cop the must-have bag and ever since then it has never been not sold out. The obsession with the bag first started in South Korea and quickly spread to other countries and it’s on its way to make waves in the Philippines. We’ve already spotted it on the shoulders of some of Instagram’s most stylish Filipinas.
Local Influencers Who Were Spotted Wearing the COS Quilted Bag

Although the COS Quilted Bag is one of the easiest bags to style thanks to its timeless and minimalistic design, a little style inspiration never hurt no one and these influencers have plenty to give.
1. Ida Anduyan
In true Ida Anduyan fashion, she went with an all black monochromatic outfit. Wearing a tube maxi dress under an Adidas x Y-3 Yohji varsity jacket and some Prada shoes, she chose a black oversized COS quilted bag to complete her look. Not only did it make a stylish addition to her ‘fit, it also made a great companion while she shopped around Japan.
2. Rhea Bue
If you’ve followed street style and Y2K queen Rhea Bue long enough, you’ll know that the COS Quilted Bag is one of her go-tos. In fact, she loves the bag so much she just had to get it in multiple colors. Need a bag that you can easily pick up and go? Go for black.
Or add a pop of color to your neutral outfits with this electric blue shade.
Neon green also makes a great pick if you’re looking to amp up a low-key ‘fit.
3. Patricia Henson
Filipina model Patricia Henson also couldn’t escape the COS quilted bag obsession. It just makes the perfect accessory for her off-duty days. While out and about in Makati, she was spotted wearing her white COS bag with a crop top and some baggy jeans.
And when she was on vacation in Thailand, she wore it with a gorgeous white maxi sundress.
Lastly, to add some contrast to her casual LBD moment, she paired her white COS quilted bag with the iconic Adidas Samba sneakers.
