Oras Index
· 63/100Good to Know
Kowtow's transparency and ethical foundation are strong; areas for deepening include formalizing a repair program (currently unstated in available materials), expanding documented renewable energy practices, and articulating long-term product durability claims more explicitly to customers. Supply chain visibility could move from country-level to facility-level detail.
About our research
Every brand on Oras is independently researched across five pillars: material quality, construction and craftsmanship, longevity and repairability, sustainability and ethics, and design philosophy. We use a consistent framework so you can compare brands meaningfully.
Oras does not sell products directly. We connect you to the brand's own site. We may earn a small affiliate commission, but this never influences our research or which brands we feature.
