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 />
