About Kowtow
Kowtow is a New Zealand label founded in Wellington in 2006 by Gosia Piątek, making womenswear and menswear from a single fiber: organic cotton. The brand says its cotton has been Fairtrade certified since it began and is traced from seed to garment. It also says every piece is plastic-free, with organic cotton thread, labels and interlinings, natural rubber wrapped in cotton in place of synthetic elastic, and no zips. Kowtow says it became a certified B Corporation in May 2022.
Certifications on these pieces
Certifications are what a brand has had tested. On fibers with a cleaner way to make them, like viscose or cotton, a mark like OEKO-TEX or GOTS can lift the score. On synthetics it never does.
Scores reflect the 3 Kowtow pieces Toxome has read and rated by fiber content; they are not a verdict on the whole catalog and update as we score more. Some links are affiliate links. If you buy through them Toxome may earn a commission at no extra cost to you, and it never changes a product’s score.
