## About Kotn

Kotn is a Canadian sustainable apparel brand founded in 2015 and headquartered in Toronto.

The company specializes in minimalist cotton essentials made from authentic Egyptian cotton, sourced directly from small-holder farmers in Egypt’s Nile Delta. Kotn is committed to ethical practices, ensuring fair wages and 100% traceability from farm to hanger. The brand offers a range of elevated everyday essentials, including T-shirts, tanks, sweaters, dresses, and other wardrobe basics. All garments are crafted from 100% Egyptian cotton, known for its softness and breathability. Kotn operates online globally and has physical retail locations in major cities across Canada, the USA, and the UK, with plans for expansion into the Middle East. Kotn is a certified B Corporation, recognized for its community impact and sustainability efforts. A portion of every order funds education and infrastructure in farming communities, and the company has built numerous primary schools in Egypt. Kotn appeals to conscious consumers who value ethical fashion, transparency, and social impact.
