WECOE has been selected by the World Intellectual Property Organization (WIPO) and the European Union Intellectual Property Office (EUIPO) as one of the 30 European fashion brands chosen to participate in the EUIPO and WIPO IP Management Clinic 2025 for Fashion. This five-month programme supports emerging and growing fashion companies in developing strong intellectual property strategies and building sustainable business models with global potential.
This recognition is a significant milestone for WECOE and a powerful endorsement of our vision. Since our founding, we have worked to redefine modern luxury through design integrity, circular principles, and sustainability. Being recognised by WIPO places WECOE among a select group of European brands shaping the future of fashion with both creative innovation and strategic excellence.
The programme, organised by the United Nations agency WIPO’s IP for Business Division in collaboration with the European Union Intellectual Property Office (EUIPO), is supported by key partners including the European Fashion Alliance (EFA), the European Apparel and Textile Confederation (EURATEX), and the Circular Fashion Federation. Participants are selected from across Europe for their potential to lead the industry toward a more responsible, circular, and forward-thinking future.
For WECOE, this selection is far more than an accolade. It is a clear recognition that our brand combines creative excellence with strategic foresight. It demonstrates that WECOE’s approach of designing handbags that are timeless, practical, and consciously crafted is not only relevant but vital to the evolution of modern luxury. Our commitment to responsible production, modular design principles, and limited-edition craftsmanship aligns directly with WIPO and its emphasis on sustainable innovation and circular economies.
We are deeply grateful to WIPO, EUIPO, and their partners for recognising the importance of intellectual property as a tool for creative growth and sustainable progress. Their support enables brands like WECOE to strengthen their foundations, protect their ideas, and continue shaping a more responsible and inspired fashion industry.
For us, this recognition is both an honour and an invitation to continue designing with purpose and vision. It confirms that WECOE is not only part of the conversation about the future of fashion but helping to lead it.
