Details and Care
Fabric
plastic free/100% Fair Trade Organic Cotton
Organic, Fairtrade, certified cotton forms the base of our garments along with a considered collection of trims and buttons chosen for their natural and recyclable nature, making Kowtow garments completely plastic-free. Our organic cotton is grown using non-genetically modified seeds, sans harmful chemicals.
Every Kowtow piece is made to last. And with a little care, they’ll live even longer. To ensure longevity and minimise the impact on the environment, we recommend only washing your garment when necessary - air or steam to refresh between wears.
