AddressABOUT US
Our story officially began back in 2008, when the team at Cotton On Group saw a chance to take their apparel know-how one step further, helping Cotton On Womenswear and Cotton On Body customers complete their look, head to toe. The team put their fashion-cred and footwear addiction to work, to create a complementary range of shoes and accessories and opened stores dedicated to just that.
