Købn | ko-ben

The name Købn comes from the Danish word for Copenhagen; København. The inspiration for the first collection were the colours of the architecture in Copenhagen influencing the brand name.

Established in 2017, Købn is an Australian lifestyle brand founded by Sophie Matson who has worked in the textile industry for leading Australian retailers for over 20 years. Købn’s products are designed in Melbourne and ethically made by a family-run mill in Denizli, Turkey - a region synonymous with high quality and luxurious textile production, ensuring the final products are sustainable whilst offering impeccable fabrication as well as safe workplaces and environmentally friendly facilities.

All Købn towels are reversible, with one side terry and one side plain weave, featuring raw edge fringing and textured drop pile stripes with a highly absorbent luxurious weave. Købn’s product range include towels, hand towels and bathmats. 

Sustainability, responsibility and transparency are Købn’s core values and each season the label aims to reduce its footprint, eliminating plastic use and partnering with I=Change to donate $1 of every online sale to selected charities.

Each of the label’s products carry Oeko-Tex, SEDEX and GOTS certifications, offering complete transparency and ensuring ethical production, socially responsible working conditions and sustainable practices are met across all supply chains. Købn’s consideration and respect for the environment is further enhanced with Made In Green by Oeko-Tex swing tags – allowing complete traceability across the production cycle for each product via a scannable QR code.

Købn's inspiration is drawn from nature, architecture, interiors, art, cultures and colour theory and the play and interaction of colour and how this may impact one's emotions, thoughts and feelings, resulting in timeless designs with a thoughtful  earthy colour palette, featuring stripes to enhance indoor and outdoor appeal.
