A major contributor to the Cotton On Group and an influential leader within the Africa retail market, Johan Van Wyk will be remembered for his generous spirit and retail acumen.  His passing this week has been a shock to our global family and we are deeply saddened by the news.

At the Cotton On Group (the Group), making a positive difference in the lives of everyone we touch; whether in our backyard or on the other side of the world is a top priority and one we invest in greatly. At last week’s World Retail Congress Awards, held in Amsterdam, the Group was privileged to be acknowledged for its ethical and sustainable approach of doing business.

Cotton On was the exclusive retail partner of the MHF’s anti-bullying campaign: the Pink Shirt Day Campaign, and was privileged to spread awareness for the cause focused on mental health issues, specifically bullying in schools and the workforce.

With suppliers from China, Vietnam, Bangladesh, Korea, India and surrounds, the Group’s Connect 2019 Supplier Conference was a day to, engage, inspire, reward, recognise and ultimately bring together the individuals and businesses that the Cotton On Group (the Group) partner with through its supply chain.

Designed exclusively for women size 16 to 24, Cotton On Curve is everything customers love about Cotton On, with more inclusive sizes.

The Group first stepped foot into the Africa retail market in 2011 opening a Cotton On store in the Clearwater Mall of Johannesburg. The region quickly became one of the fastest growing markets for the business’s store footprint reaching 170 stores across South Africa and Namibia by the end of 2018.
