What is the Better Cotton Initiative?
The Better Cotton Initiative is a non-profit organisation working towards sustainability in the fashion industry by encouraging top retailers to source their cotton only from sustainable resources, using eco-friendly dyes and chemicals and avoiding water wastage in the production of their clothes. BCI also advocates for fair workers’ rights and sustainable farming practices, with a specific focus on farms and factories located on the African continent.
The Cotton On Foundation announced in early 2020 that the brand would be joining BCI in their plight for a sustainable future. As such, all of
Cotton On's denims and basic tees are now made using only sustainable resources from the Kenyan Cotton Program. Using a blend of recycled cottons, Cotton On has transformed these everyday clothing pieces into eco-friendly fashion must-haves.
Cotton On's Winter BCI range
No item of clothing will see you better through the cold winter months than a good pair of denim jeans. If you haven't invested in a versatile and comfortable pair of jeans this winter, check out Cotton On's variety of mens and ladies denims. Our top pick for the ladies is the
Cropped Flare Jean available in vintage denim blue and charcoal. Perfect to wear with edgy biker boots and a luxury winter coat, these jeans will see you well through winter. For the gents we'd pick the
Relaxed Tapered Jean which is available in a variety of washes. These distressed jeans offer comfort and simplicity, ideal for those long winter days.
Joburg winters are unpredictable to say the least. Layering your clothes is the best way to prepare for those chilly mornings and sunny afternoons. Take a peak at Cotton On's range of
basic tees for men and
women to help get that layering technique on point. Besides, nothing says chic like a plain t-shirt paired with a fabulous pair of denim jeans. So vamp up your style game this winter and shop the BCI range at Cotton On.

puffer jacket from Cotton On. Made from 100% recycled polyester or nylon, these jackets will not only keep you snug this winter, but you'll be helping save the planet.
