iKOWTOW<br />
Kowtow designs well cut clothes that are<br />
consistently true to their own minimal,<br />
androgynous and classic aesthetic. All the cotton<br />
used in Kowtow clothing is premium certified fair<br />
trade by the Fair Trade Labeling Organization and<br />
certified organic by SKAL International. All fabrics<br />
are dyed with Global Organic Textiles Standard<br />
(GOTS) approved dyes.<br />
The factory employees receive a fair wage<br />
including paid holiday leave, sick pay, medical<br />
insurance, subsidized lunches and overtime pay.<br />
The factory provides a well lit, well ventilated<br />
and spacious working environment, and workers<br />
benefit from work place unions.<br />
Kowtow visits the factories in Kolkata every six<br />
months checking on the production chain and<br />
making sure the employees are happy with the<br />
working conditions, as well as closely monitoring<br />
the quality of samples and production.<br />
