History

Founded in 2015 by Rami Helali, Mackenzie Yeates, and Benjamin Sehl, Kotn began after Helali spent time living in an Egyptian cotton-farming community. The brand emerged during a shift toward supply chain transparency in the fashion industry. It is recognized for its B Corp certification and its investment in social infrastructure, including the construction of schools in rural Egypt. This model addresses the historical decline of the Egyptian cotton industry by providing stable demand for small-scale farmers.
