Summer wardrobe needing a quick refresh? Ready to start picking up a few pieces for fall? Then you’re in luck because Toronto-based brand Kotn is back with its Thank You Sale, where you can score its updated, well-made basics for up to 70 per cent off. We’re particularly excited because Kotn’s items have made many of The Kit‘s best-of lists, from white T-shirts to black turtlenecks to luxurious cotton bedding. And we’re even more excited because we have an extra-special discount code for The Kit readers: you can take an additional 10% off any sale product with the code THEKIT-SALE10. (The code is valid for one use per customer and will allow 10% off sale product only until Sunday, August 7).
In addition to the stylish selections, what really sets the brand apart from the rest is its commitment to keeping its environmental impact at a minimum. All the materials for Kotn’s products are ethically sourced from family-run farms in Egypt and Portugal. Since its inception in 2015, Kotn has been following fair labour practices, supporting equal pay as well as safe working conditions. Co-founders Mackenzie Sehl (nee Yeates) and Ben Sehl have implemented a fully traceable supply chain—it’s like farm-to-table but for clothes! Plus, they have a really beautiful loft, see our home tour here.)
Ready to shop the Kotn sale with an extra 10% off? Here are eight not-so-basic essentials to snag.
A sporty little tank has never looked so good. Cropped to perfection and made from soft, breathable Egyptian cotton, this tank was made for a summer heat wave. We love this sunny yellow, but it also comes in white, black and few other shades besides. Dress it up for a night out, paired with a blazer and heels or down with cut-offs and sneakers—this comfy tank will be your new wardrobe staple.
You just can’t go wrong with a midi tank dress, and this one from Kotn is elegant, versatile and perfectly relaxed. A gorgeous knit that’s thin enough for the summer but feels like your fave sweater, this dress is made using soft and silky recycled cotton yarn from old fabric clippings.
Off-the-shoulder tops always add an alluring touch to a classic outfit. Available in black, deep red and this pretty slate blue, this sleek shoulder-baring number deserves a spot in your shopping cart. What makes it different? Glad you asked. In addition to how silky and luxe the material feels, the neckline is elasticized so it will securely stay in place.
It’s not too early to start thinking ahead to fall, especially when the deal is this good. Made from Kotn’s fine cotton twill that offers structure and stretch, these paperbag-waist, belted wide-leg trousers are soft, comfortable and perfect for the office or gallivanting around town on the weekends. Pair them with the cropped tank above now and a fitted long-sleeve later.
Friends don’t let friends shop the Kotn sale and not walk away with one of their excellent white Ts. Made from breathable and luxe-feeling cotton, the fit on this one is immaculate. It has a slimmer torso with slightly longer sleeves, meaning it can easily be dressed up for work or worn casually like any other white T.
Another sale pick that’s looking toward the fall season is this maxi dress that’s chic, minimal and oh-so stylish—just picture it with knee-high boots. Available in black and crimson, the material is light, stretchy and silky. Plus, the rippled detail at the hem of the high collar and sleeves keep it from being too serious.
Your bed deserves a little treat, too, don’t you think? Kotn’s bedding is made with just as much care and attention as its apparel and the focus is on comfort and luxury. Made from 400 thread count, 100 per cent Egyptian cotton that’s ethically crafted using certified Oeko-Tex non-toxic dyes, this crisp duvet cover and pillowcase set will have you daydreaming about bedtime even more than you already do.
You know how growing up you could never have too many lip glosses? Well, the vibe is similar, but as adults it feels like we can never have too many sets of sheets. If you’re nodding your head along with me, this is the time to snag an extra set. Made with the same Egyptian cotton as the Duvet Cover + Sham Set, these sheets just keep getting softer, and they’re made to be durable, so they’ll actually last. We love this deep green shade. Night!

No outfit holds perennial, nostalgic power like the school uniform. It can vary in terms of the accessories (a tie, a bow, knee-high socks—to name a few), but a few fundamental pieces remain constant: the pleated skirt, the crisp button-up shirt and the V-neck knit. Not everyone has the fondest memories of their own coming-of-age look, especially if they did have to wear a prescribed set of clothes—who actually liked their school uniform? But…
