Kowtow Long Sleeve Top - Violet

the brand story:

Founded in 2007 by Gosia Piatek, Kowtow is a conscious label with a strong design philosophy and innate sense of comfort. Described as minimalist and effortless, the Kowtow aesthetic is inspired by Gosia’s interests in art, architecture, culture, craftsmanship, landscapes and her own travels. The collections are entirely made with sustainably and ethically sourced materials. Engaged in a slow production chain, Kowtow's collections take 18 months from design to delivery. This is the basis for their values, to ensure workers rights and environmental protection.

The garments are certified by non-profit, internationally recognised organisations. They support fair wages, no child labor, workers rights, gender equality & grower community. All cotton is certified by Fairtrade Labelling Organisations International (FLO) and they source local New Zealand mohair, alpaca fleece and wool from farmers who commit to the highest grade of animal welfare, environmental care and social responsibility. This includes commitment to no mulesing. All Kowtow garments are made at SA8000 accredited factories in India. Social Accountability Accreditation Services (SAAS) is an independent audit which ensures workers receive the following benefits: guaranteed minimum wage, social security fund, pension fund, paid holiday leave, sick pay, medical insurance, subsidised lunches, overtime pay, workplace unions and free transport to their workplace.
