Why shop Comptoir des Cotonniers in Europe?

Comptoir des Cotonniers was founded in Toulouse in 1995 with a mother-daughter aesthetic that became its hallmark. France remains the brand's home market with the deepest assortment, and France's 12% VAT refund on purchases over €100.01 makes coats, knits, and leather goods more competitive against US pricing. International distribution is limited compared to French boutiques.

Frequently asked questions.

Can I get VAT refund on Comptoir des Cotonniers online purchases?

No. VAT refunds are only available for in-store purchases made in Europe. Online orders shipped internationally are already VAT-exempt.

High-value items (typically over €1,000) may require physical inspection at customs. Keep your purchase in carry-on luggage, not checked bags.

What if I'm connecting through a non-EU airport?

You must validate your VAT refund at your last EU point of departure, not your final destination.
