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: 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.)

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.

The price: Sale price: $130. Save $40.
The details: 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.
Kotn Cold Shoulder Top, $35 (on sale from $50), kotn.com SHOP HERE
The Kotn sale pick: Cold Shoulder Top
The price: Sale price: $35. Save $15.
The details: Off-the-shoulder tops always add an alluring touch to a classic outfit.

In addition to how silky and luxe the material feels, the neckline is elasticized so it will securely stay in place.

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.

The details: 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.

The price: Sale price: $75. Save $120.
The details: 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.

The Kotn sale pick: Duvet Cover + Sham Set
The price: Sale price: $150. Save $75.
The details: 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.

Kotn Flat Sheet, $60 (on sale from $80), Kotn.com SHOP HERE
The Kotn sale pick: Flat Sheet
The price: Sale price: $60. Save $20.
The details: 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!
