Retail Sales Assistant - Wellington

We are looking for part time or casual retail sales assistants to join our Flagship team. To be successful you will have previous retail experience and understand the importance of delivering exceptional customer service at all times. 

Founded by Gosia Piatek in 2006, Kowtow is a seed-to-garment brand from Wellington, New Zealand. All of our garments are made naturally from a single fibre, Fairtrade organic cotton.

At Kowtow our vision is to create clothing that can return to the earth without harm. We take responsibility for what we produce, how we operate our business and are actively working on solutions to reduce our footprint. We are committed to the principles of circular design - reducing waste, making products that last, keeping them in use and regenerating the natural environment at every point in the process. Our collections are created to build a modular wardrobe, offering quality pieces that can be worn again and again, year after year.

“The limitations of our ethos keeps us innovative. We don’t compromise on design, and embrace restrictions. This gives our garments a strong minimal identity, and we believe the simplicity of our clothing is the first step toward circularity.”

– Gosia Piatek, Kowtow Founder

At Kowtow, we are lucky to work with a team of incredibly creative and talented people, and we are proud of our kind and caring culture. You will thrive in our business if you are naturally confident, have a positive attitude and share our vision of leaving the planet better than we found it.
