Progressive Minimalist Apparel

KOTN is a Sustainable & Ethical Fashion Line That's Summer-Ready

KOTN is perfect for consumers looking for progressive minimalist apparel for the warmer weather. The collection features well-tailored, basic tees in a variety of summer colors including white, black, navy, and army green, to name a few.

KOTN was created out of a desire to make both ethical and sustainable clothing. The apparel is made from authentic Egyptian cotton that can only be grown in the Nile Delta. The brand works directly with the cotton farmers in Egypt to rebuild the industry, which was long forsaken by bigger industries for cheaper alternatives. KOTN is also a proudly certified 'B Corp' business that ensures businesses are responsible for both communities and the environment.

KOTN's apparel is the perfect go-to this summer for progressive minimalist apparel that aligns with the conscious consumer's values.
