Kate Moss' million-dollar claim: the bitter end of her luxury brand

Kate Moss has faced yet another financial setback after her wellness brand, Cosmoss, filed for insolvency. The British model, who rose to fame in the 1990s as a top fashion icon, launched the luxury brand in 2022 with a focus on natural skincare products and lifestyle items such as incense sticks. However, the company reportedly accumulated debts of nearly three million pounds, approximately 3.4 million euros, and was forced to enter liquidation proceedings in early 2025. The brand attempted to sell its products through high-end department stores and online platforms, often at premium prices. For example, customers could purchase 25 tea bags for 21 pounds, about 25 euros, or a CBD oil for 98 pounds, around 115 euros. Despite these efforts, the business struggled financially, according to reports from the fashion industry publication Business of Fashion. In response, the company appointed liquidators to submit an application for the closure of operations under a liquidation process. Moss, along with other business partners, holds the largest share in the company. However, new details reveal that approximately 600,000 pounds, roughly 700,000 euros, of debt may remain unpaid. This has led to concerns among smaller businesses that had previously partnered with Cosmoss. According to the Daily Mail, several companies are now regretting their association with the brand. One of the creditors, the cosmetics advisory firm Annel, confirmed the impact of the insolvency. “Unpaid invoices can have serious consequences for small businesses,” explained co-founder Eliza Gulko. Other creditors include the law firm Harbottle & Lewis, which represents King Charles III and is owed 23,000 pounds, approximately 27,000 euros. Moss, who has spent much of the past few years living in her home in the Cotswolds following the sale of her London villa in 2021, once commented on her reluctance to discuss money. She stated, “It’s completely insensitive,” she said. “I’m paid for absurd things.” The insolvency filing marks a further challenge in a career already marked by highs and lows. While Moss remains a household name in the world of fashion, her venture into the luxury wellness market appears to have ended in failure. As the liquidation process moves forward, the fate of remaining debts and affected stakeholders will likely become clearer in the coming months.
