Kowtow Winter Pop-Up

Overview

Ethical and sustainable womens label Kowtow is popping up in Melbourne for one month this winter. Founded by art director Gosia Piatek, the New Zealand label's clothing is made entirely from certified fair trade, ethically-sourced organic cotton, making it a real champion among local boutique producers.

The brand creates six collections per year and their newest collection, Dreamscape, focuses on figurative elements from folk tales and traditional fisherman workwear. The pieces feature quilting, textured knitwear and a natural colour palette that aims to accentuate the versatility of cotton without compromising on ethics or sustainability. All fabrics are also exclusively designed in-house and packaged with sustainable material — and, we must say, look incredibly comfy.

Kowtow's international presence spans showrooms in New York, Copenhagen, Venice, Melbourne and Auckland, with Dreamscape available online and across 200 retailers worldwide. The pop-up will kick off with a launch party on Thursday, May 18 and, following that, will be open Monday to Saturday from 10am–6pm and Sunday from 11am–5pm until June 18.
