Kotn is a Toronto label building everyday wardrobe basics around long-staple Egyptian cotton bought directly from farms in the Nile Delta. Founders Rami Helali, Mackenzie Yeates and Benjamin Sehl started in 2015 with a single T-shirt and expanded into knitwear, shirting, outerwear and a home and bedding line. The certified B Corporation funds schools and farmer subsidies in Egypt and publishes supply-chain traceability. It runs its own stores in Toronto, Montreal and Vancouver, and released a Toronto-themed capsule with Red Bull Sound Select in 2025.
