The product: KOTN x Knot On My Planet Cotton Hoodie
Why we love it: This isn’t just a sweatshirt. This cosy top could help save the elephants. No, really.
Borne from a collaboration between the Toronto-based brand KOTN and the Doutzen Kroes-backed initiative Knot On My Planet — and available exclusively through Holt Renfrew’s charity-minded shopping department H Project — the full profits from the sale of each limited-edition hooded sweatshirt will be donated to the Elephant Crisis Fund.
In addition to the hoodie style, the collaboration collection includes several other styles including socks, embroidered patches, a T-shirt, crewneck sweater, jogger sweatpants and more.
The pieces available in the KOTN x Knot On My Planet range, which are available while supplies last, are ethically made from Egyptian cotton in the Nile Delta. The pieces also each feature the silhouette of an elephant illustrated by artist Melody Hansen, embroidered, in various sizes, on the garment — a delicate nod to the majestic animals the originators of this collection aim to protect.
While most of us can ask ourselves, “Do I really need yet another sweatshirt?” at some point or another, prompting one to put the piece in questions back on the shelf, this time, the answer should be a resounding “Yes!”
The price: $95
