C.P. Company Cross Body Bags

C.P. Company has been rewriting the rules of Italian sportswear since 1971, when designer Massimo Osti, the experimental mind often credited as the godfather of urban utility, founded the brand. If you’ve ever asked what does CP in C.P. Company stand for? The name first meant “Chester Perry,” taken from the factory in Frank Dickens’ Bristow comic. Osti — a graphic designer and comic obsessive — adopted it before evolving it into C.P. Company.

Known for garment‑dyed innovation and a technical approach to everyday wear, the brand blends military inspiration and functional detailing. Its most recognisable signature is the C.P. Company jacket goggle style — a hooded silhouette featuring built‑in lenses, originally developed for endurance drivers and now a streetwear icon.

C.P. Company clothing balances utility and refinement: the classic C.P. Company jacket, soft‑washed C.P. Company t‑shirt, and knitwear staples like the C.P. Company jumper all carry the brand’s unmistakable dye treatments and technical DNA.

C.P. Company remains a leader in functional fashion — a place where legacy, progression, collaborations and Italian craftsmanship intersect. Following the 2025 departure of Alessandro Pungetti and Paul Howard, Leonardo Fasolo is now creative director, ushering in a fresh chapter.

We caught up in our interview with Lorenzo Osti & Paul Harvey about the heritage and evolution of C.P. Company.
