Cos Cob is one of the historic villages of Greenwich, a stretch of about four and a half square miles in the town's southwest corner along the Mianus, with neighbors like Riverside and Old Greenwich nearby. It keeps the shape that drew the artists: a small harbor on Long Island Sound, the river sliding past old houses, and a quiet, painterly light that has not really changed in more than a century.
So Cos Cob gathers a colonial saltbox, a boarding house full of painters, and the first Impressionist colony in Connecticut onto the banks of the Mianus. Our Cos Cob designs gather that into wearable form. Wear the history. Where the Impressionists painted the Mianus — Cos Cob, CT.
