@kotn has given me the chance to explore my passion for integrating social impact into fashion. This B-corp certified company makes 'quality essentials' made from 100% Egyptian cotton with a focus on traceability and ethical production. Unfortunately, since 2001, there has been a 95% decline in demand from big corporations that opted to go with cheaper options. By working directly with cotton farming families in Egypt, Kotn aims to rebuild the industry from the inside and donates a portion of their sales toward building schools to combat illiteracy in Egypt. Kotn makes their own fabrics from raw cotton grown in the Nile Delta, where the cotton is then sent to our cut-and-sew factory outside Alexandria. This is such important work, and I'm so grateful to be a part of spreading the slow fashion luv :) come and visit our Toronto flagship at 754 Queen West
Yesterday our friends at @hiutdenim launched 125 pieces of their Sustainable Selvedge Short Run. An authentic indigo denim with a green line selvedge, this beautifully made, loose fitting five-pocket jean is made with 12.75oz selvedge denim by Candiani.
If you’re looking to buy a pair of these exquisite jeans, you’ll have to wait until their next short run as all 125 pieces have sold out in less than 24 hours!

The Urban Farmers journey ONE YEAR TODAY since the store opened! From the humble beginnings of Amanda's garage, visiting each farm and carefully creating relationships with local organic growers who echoed her values, Amanda's vision to start a conscious community is becoming a reality. 'The Urban Farmer was born out of my deep wonder at the life giving nature of nature. It is easy to forget where the food on your plate comes from when it is bought in a store with neon lights, rinsed totally clean of any residue of the soil from which it was born and wrapped in plastic. The Urban Farmer has always been and will continue being my manifesto for living. The Urban Farmer is my gift to myself and to all the clients that I serve.' Amanda Russo, owner of The Urban Farmer
For all your chemical-free essentials and organic produce, pop in-store at 278 Kenilworth Main Road. For a delicious breakfast, brunch, or smoothie, @wildsproutcpt will not disappoint with their beautiful wholefood eatery located inside The Urban Farmer

Over the past few months we’ve been working on turning the waste in our supply chain into a resource, so that there is no waste. This amazing plant takes the organic cotton floor waste, basically the offcuts when you make a tee and then adds rainwater, solar power and a sun-drying shed (no chemicals, just some clever machinery) and makes beautiful card and paper. They print our designs with Soy. This is how we make some of our new packaging and sticker

✨New bean on the shelf!✨ When we’re choosing new coffees, it’s not just about the flavours that need to impress us on the cupping table. We also ask many questions about the producers and their work. It’s important for us to focus our efforts on coffee growing countries and individual farms where support is most needed and most of all, our impact is traceable.
Mushonyi washing station in Rwanda’s Western Province is a shining example. Bought from the army in 2010, today the station collects cherries picked by 1,213 growers from the surrounding hills. Focusing on quality control and regular training, the coffee leaving this station is nothing less but world class.
We’re giving you Mushonyi, a perfectly balanced washed African coffee with notes of almond, vanilla, rockmelon and pear.
Now available in store and online (you can order via link in bio)
