Kotn is an independent company.

Canadian sustainable apparel brand founded in Toronto in 2015 by Rami Helali, Benjamin Sehl, and Mackenzie Yeates, built around the premise of producing high-quality Egyptian cotton basics at accessible prices while paying fair wages throughout a transparent supply chain.

Kotn claims to source its cotton directly from farms in the Nile Delta and manufactures entirely in Egypt, eliminating middlemen to control quality and traceability. The brand operates as a certified B Corporation and has used a portion of revenue to fund the construction of over a dozen schools in Egyptian farming communities.

Kotn expanded into the US market with physical retail in New York and Los Angeles alongside its direct-to-consumer e-commerce business.
