Kowtow Scores a+ In 2019 Ethical Fashion Report
For the third year, Kowtow was audited by Tearfund New Zealand for the 2019 Ethical Fashion Report. The annual industry report tracks the efforts of fashion companies to ensure the rights of workers: fair wages, no child labor, safe workplaces, gender equality and grower community.
Kowtow is proud to announce they received an A+, the highest overall grade, which cements the label as leaders in ethical and sustainable fashion.
“As designers, we’re responsible for the entire lifetime of a garment, and that starts with the conditions of how it was made. The report asks brands to look into their manufacturing and ensure best practices are followed, and we believe that by only positive change can come from that.” - Gosia Piatek, Founder & Creative Director
Kowtow collections are made from organic, renewable, biodegradable and regenerated fibres. All Kowtow garments are certified by non-profit internationally recognised organisations. Independent audits and accreditation bodies ensure the label remains true to their values.
“We’re [Kowtow] known for our wardrobe staples such as classic tees, crisp white shirts, denim and knitwear. Our entire collection is made without putting worker safety or the environment at risk, which goes to show the future of fashion is ethical and sustainable.” - Gosia Piatek, Founder & Creative Director
