What to look for when buying cotton How to recognise Cotton made in Africa
Many retailers mark those garments whose purchase supports the Cotton made in Africa initiative with woven label and a large tag. The woven labels show the Cotton made in Africa logo, where the white cotton bloom with the burgundy red background is easy to recognise. The “Cotton made in Africa” wordmark also makes sure there can be no confusion with other logos.
Alongside the label on the inside of the garments, there are also tags with additional information on the outside of each garment, attached with a cotton thread. The paper tags have various motifs printed on them, but all of them also include the Cotton made in Africa logo.

Albert Watson: Visions feat. Cotton made in AfricaThe exhibition and the project behind it
This exceptional collaboration with fashion and commercial photographer Albert Watson will provide insight into the cotton farmers' worlds and transport a better awareness of CmiA's work.The photos will illustrate the initiative's goal to improve social conditions in the smallholder farmers’ lives without visual stereotypes. The aim is in contrast to show a new image of African living environments – through the eyes of Albert Watson. In addition to the cotton harvest, that was underway during the journey, Watson has also visited traditional markets and a regional king in Benin to get an impression of the diversity of life in Benin and its people.
