Our Story, From Australia to the WorldPicture this: Its 1988 and our first shop is the boot of a Ford Bronco parked at the Beckley Market in Geelong, Australia. Inside the Bronco are denim jackets, which doesnt sound like muchbut it was the start of something big.Growing up in Australia, our founder started Cotton On with an epic vision in mind. He wanted to take our Aussie lifestyle to the world, delivering Good along the way. That first market came and went without a sale, something that might have shaken any young entrepreneur. But, instead of letting this deter him, Nigel looked at the bigger picture and decided to switch things up. Returning a week later with a new offer, the jackets sold out. The difference? Customer obsession was now front of mind, something that we still obsess over every day and in every decision we make. By providing great value to his customer, without compromising on quality, hed found the sweet spot.Its this simple beginning and the lessons learnt from those early years that forged the path for how we still work today. And its what set us on track to fulfilling our purpose of making a positive difference in peoples lives. Our Aussie spirit means we dont take ourselves too seriously, except when it comes to the way we do business. The way we go about things is bold, and different, and were OK with that. We believe some of the best plans are made over beers in the backyard. And so for the last three decades, we did just that. Thats what put us on the map. 20,000 people. 8 brands. 22 countries. 1,500 stores.
