Kowtow

For a long time, many of our consumer habits have appeared to have no consequence. It is now quite apparent that there is an imbalance in standards of living throughout the world which is fueled by the West's continuing short changing and exploitation of labour markets in the so called third world.

We don't believe anyone who is truly aware of what is going on in the world would want to turn their heads and support a slave trade economy.

Being into clothes and seeing that it was nearly impossible to get a competitively priced Fairtrade/Organic cotton product that didn't look like a sack we decided to do something about it.

Kowtow is run by a bunch of artistic and creative folk who are dedicated to making people look great and leaving their concious free for over worries!!!!

Every single Kowtow garment is designed and tailored with comfort and longevity in mind.

EVERY SINGLE GARMENT WE MAKE IS CERTIFIED FAIRTRADE AND ORGANIC by the Fairtrade Labelling Organisastion and certified organic by the Control Union Group. For more info click on our right hand column.

Kowtow's designs are there to make you think or laugh, both as important as each other. The crew spend hours/days/weeks/months creating these unique garments for you to enjoy and wear with pride.

Kowtow thanks everyone for believing in it - without you there would be another pro-slave labour, genetically modified, polluting, blue collar company in its place - blah!

Nice one brothers and sisters
