Unusually for celebrity-endorsed merchandise, the designers' names and pedigrees are celebrated and promoted within the marketing for the collection, and the 'Coco' wares are marked clearly with their names, as well as the country of manufacture. The components of the range serve multiple functions, allowing a versatile service to be formed from a small number of adaptable shapes.
