Certified Organic and Sustainable Clothes

We love our sustainable clothes from Kowtow. All of the Kowtow products on our webshop are made out of exclusively organic cotton – From the softest and finest tops and shirts, to warm chunky jackets. The garments are all certified by the Global Organic Textile Standard (GOTS). The brand is living up to high environmental and toxicological criteria and they have also implemented advanced waste water procedures.

The cotton used in the products are 100% cotton certified. They use absolutely no genetically modified seeds or improper pesticides in the production. Finally, they pay high attention to the sustainability of the dyeing process as well as to details like the use of recycled hemp buttons. Read more about the GOTS certification here.

Truly Fair Trade Clothes

Kowtow only includes 100% fair trade cotton in its production, certified by the Fair Trade Labelling Organisations International (FLOI). Production takes place in Kolkata, India, and adheres to strict and well-organised standards.  The employee benefits are numerous, such as a decent living wage with paid social security and pension funds, medical insurance, paid holiday leave, sick pay, overtime pay, and work place unions. Additionally, the employees have subsidies lunches, free transport service to the factory, and moreover, the workers’ children receive free schooling.

The fact that Kowtow's production also is GOTS certified means that the workers only work with organic cotton. In this way, the employees are never in contact with hazardous elements, which are often used in dying processes. Examples of these dangerous elements are nickel, lead, formaldehyde, amines, pesticides and heavy metals. Most noteworthy, the workers’ wellbeing are truly at the heart of Kowtow – And therefore we love buying fair trade clothes from them!

Vegan Clothes

Kowtow is a brand based in New Zealand, which uses no animal products – neither silk nor leather. However, you can still find the softest shirts and jackets that can keep you warm in the winter. At Lendemain Organic, we do only sell products that live up to our vegan standards and we want all our brands to share our compassion for animals.
