Cou Cou x Sandy Liang campaign model wearing a pink baby tee and blue briefs

Cou Cou has found the perfect partner for its first-ever brand collaboration. The intimates label has teamed up with Sandy Liang for a playful capsule that brings together nostalgia, femininity and the kind of charming everyday pieces both brands do so well.

Titled “A Guide to Being Well Read,” the Cou Cou x Sandy Liang collection puts a whimsical spin on back-to-school nostalgia. Rather than taking the academic theme too seriously, the collaboration leans into curiosity, imagination and the simple pleasure of getting lost in a good book. The accompanying campaign was photographed by Annemarie Kuus in Paris and draws inspiration from vintage catalogues and magazines, with literary references including The Secret Garden, Kiki’s Delivery Service and The Little Prince.

The campaign images are just as sweet as the concept. Soft pink and white tones dominate the visuals, with the model wearing delicate organic cotton intimates finished with feminine pink piping and tiny bow details. One look pairs a cropped pink baby tee with pale blue briefs, while another features a soft white Boxette-style silhouette trimmed with lace. A white baby tank with pink edging and “Well Read” lettering brings the collaboration's playful message front and centre.

Elsewhere, the styling introduces a lightweight printed pajama-style shirt layered over pink-trimmed underwear. The campaign's dreamy backdrop is decorated with hand-drawn pink butterflies, bows, stars and whimsical doodles, giving every image that unmistakably nostalgic Sandy Liang touch.

Cou Cou and Sandy Liang Launch a Dreamy Girlhood-Inspired Collaboration

The capsule includes organic cotton pajamas, lace-trimmed Boxettes, a “well-read” baby tank and days-of-the-week underwear. Its exclusive Sweet Dreams print mixes butterflies, bunnies, tea cups, paw prints and bows, while the collection is made from 100% organic cotton without synthetic fibres. The collaboration launches August 27 online and at Sandy Liang's New York store.

It is a natural meeting of two brands that understand the appeal of romantic little details. With its soft colours, vintage-inspired graphics and easy intimates designed for lounging, sleeping and reading, Cou Cou x Sandy Liang turns everyday underwear into a small celebration of girlhood.
