Spotlight · Kotn
High-quality basics based on considered design, relentless quality, and positive impact. Kotn set the standard for conscious consumption. They’re based in Canada and ship worldwide.
They’re a certified B Corporation® — a certification for businesses that balance purpose and profit. And not just that — they also got the 4th highest B Impact Score for clothing brands in North America.
Kotn are open and honest about their supply chain and have documented every step of the process.
There are three common varieties of cotton: upland, Pima and Egyptian. Pima and Egyptian are usually the best quality. Kotn only uses the finest 10% of Pima fibres. Their cotton is handpicked too — which puts less stress on the fibres.
