Ladies linen top

For this summery, light and airy top, Knowledge Cotton Apparel produces a softly draped jersey made from pure linen. What is special here is that the linen comes from certified organic farming. Linen is the perfect choice of material for the warm season. It is kind to the skin, breathable and feels pleasantly cool against the skin, so it won't make you sweat too quickly even at high temperatures. The linen yarns create a beautiful melange effect typical of the material, giving the top a casual character. Fine rib-knit cuffs at the sleeve openings round off the design.

The owl in the logo of the Danish label Knowledge Cotton Apparel stands for wisdom and knowledge, two elements that are key to the company's history and brand philosophy. Back in 1969, Jørgen Mørup and his father founded a small textile company in the Danish town of Herning and already started to focus on the subject of sustainability. At the end of the 1980s, the two began making their garments from ecologically produced cotton, becoming Denmark's green pioneers, as it were. The next logical step in 2008 was the foundation of Knowledge Cotton Apparel, this time with son respectively grandson Mads as part of the team, a label that unites the company's heritage with a contemporary, sustainable corporate strategy. Today, Knowledge Cotton Apparel stands for casual, sporty menswear, usually made from GOTS-certified organic cotton or "Happy Sheep Wool". The label also works with recycled PET bottles, which it shreds, melts down and spins into yarn to make a durable, water-repellent fabric for jackets.

The garment may rub off onto light-coloured materials such as other garments, furniture and upholstery fabrics.
