We started The Basic Cotton with a simple question:
Why is it so hard to find a really good plain T-shirt?
Not one plastered with logos. Not one tied to trends. Just something comfortable, timeless, and well-made. Something you can live in, move in, and wear again and again—without thinking twice. So we set out to create it. The Basic Cotton is a slow, conscious label built around the belief that less truly is more. We’re not here to drop 50 styles a season or chase the latest fashion. We’re here to offer a smaller, better wardrobe—starting with the most essential piece: the plain T-shirt.
Designed with Intention
Every tee we make is designed to do one thing: fit seamlessly into your life. Whether you’re heading out on a weekend road trip, sitting in a sunlit café working remotely, or just pulling together a clean, simple look—you shouldn’t have to overthink it. Our T-shirts are made from soft, breathable, sustainable cotton. They’re gender-neutral, seasonless, and intentionally versatile. Just black, white, and other neutral tones that pair with everything and go everywhere.
Made in India, with Purpose
We’re proud to keep things local. Every piece is ethically crafted in India, by skilled hands who understand fabric, form, and detail. We work with small-batch manufacturers and focus on quality over quantity. No mass production. No wasteful inventory. Just mindful, responsible processes that respect the people and the planet behind every stitch.
No Logos. No Noise.
In a world full of fast fashion and loud branding, we believe in the quiet confidence of simplicity. At The Basic Cotton, we don’t want your clothes to speak for you. We want you to speak for you. That’s why our pieces are logo-free, print-free, and drama-free—because your style doesn’t need a slogan.
Built for the Minimalist Mindset
We’re not just making T-shirts. We’re making space—for less clutter, less waste, and more freedom. We’re here for the ones who pack light, live slow, and dress with purpose. For those who value comfort, clarity, and craftsmanship. For anyone who believes a great wardrobe starts with great basics—and that the best things in life are often the simplest.
Thanks for being here.
Whether you’re just discovering us or already living in your new favourite tee—we’re so glad to be part of your journey.

Simple is Good. Always.
