About Us
Welcome to Cosette di Ames, our little sanctuary to fearless femininity.
We create precious pieces for women who live a life of passion, knowing that bliss is found in small things.
We dedicate this space to you: the passionate ones who are not afraid of vulnerability, the fearless ones who embrace their sensuality with spontaneity and grace, unburdened by external influences.
We create clothing for women, not their boyfriends.
Our Founder
Amy was born in Vietnam, but moved to New York 8 years ago, to study financial engineering.
One day, while she was in Columbia University library, a thought hit her:
Did she really want to spend her life in boring suits just to be taken seriously by Wall Street bros? She'd have to play down her femininity to fit into the Big Boys' Club, and that just felt so wrong.
She quit finance and started Cosette di Ames, a safe space for women who embrace their softness without abandoning their ambitions.
Amy’s outrage turned into creative vision. “F**k it”, she said, “I’ll make a space where women can be both: feminine *and* leaders.”
A space where femininity is never a weakness.
Behind The Name
Cosette, from chosette (French) and cosetta (Italian): little thing
Ames, from ames (French): souls, and aims (English): ambitions, aspirations
“Cosette di Ames” simply means “Little Things from Amy".

We work with exclusive textiles, from customized fabrics to unique prints and patterns.
Our pieces are luxurious, but our attitude is not.
