Kontoor Brands, Inc.

Our employee resource group in Bangladesh recently demonstrated the power of community and compassion. Traveling nearly 7 hours from Dhaka to Sylhet, they delivered essential supplies — including food, medicine, and drinking water — to 500 families impacted by the recent floods. We’re proud of the incredible commitment and care our employees show in times of need. Thank you to our teams in Bangladesh for going the extra mile to support the community.

?Bienvenidos! Our Lee and Wrangler licensing partners from South America recently joined us at Kontoor's Global HQ for an exciting week of planning and collaboration in preparation for FW25.

We joined the Accelerating Circularity Project to collaborate and show that textiles can be recycled into new materials. As a part of the textile-to-textile recycling project in the U.S., Accelerating Circularity has recycled 23 tons each of post-consumer and post-industrial cotton. Our Wrangler x Accelerating Circularity jeans contain 26% recycled cotton. Check out the jeans here: https://lnkd.in/e4qjNMR4 To learn more about the partnership, visit: https://lnkd.in/ed877cjn

Long Live Cowgirls! Wrangler and country music superstar Lainey Wilson have launched their much-anticipated clothing collection, Wrangler’s largest collaboration to date. Check it out here: https://lnkd.in/eVDxbMei

Country music superstar Lainey Wilson traveled to New York City this week to unveil her much-anticipated clothing collaboration with Wrangler, bringing cowgirl cool to the Big Apple. “My parents had me in a pair of Wrangler’s before I could walk,” Wilson told NYFW press, regarding her lifelong connection to the brand. “When I put these clothes on, I feel like I am connected to my inner child, but I also feel like I can do anything I want to do.” “This was something for me to call home about,” she added with a laugh. “I called Daddy and I said, ‘We're going to be working with Wrangler!’ And he's like, ‘Oh shoot! She's really doing something!’” The collection, Wrangler’s largest collab to date, is the first artist co-created collection in a multi-year partnership between Wilson and Wrangler. The collection goes on sale as an exclusive preview for Wrangler Rewards members on 9/24, and to the general public on 9/25.

Five years ago, Kontoor employee Sande Taylor Pahl founded Book Buddies: a Title I school tutoring program for reading and math.

What began as a program with 9 students grew to 37 students and undoubtedly has left a positive impact on the Greensboro community. We are proud of our employees for their hard work and dedication!
