The versatile Petit Pli range are made from recycled bottles, as such they are 100% recycled polyester. Petit Pli garments can be worn as outerwear; a rain and wind proof outer shell. These garments can be worn on top of natural layers and are designed to protect your child from rain and wind. Many LittleHumans are happy to wear the garments against their skin too. Because the garments are designed to last for long, we can use top-of-the-range soft, durable & breathable technical fabrics.

Yes, the structure has a memory that is constantly resetting itself when worn and can easily be reset with a horizontal tug.

Our durable fabrics and the pleating process we've designed make the pleats hard wearing. We see children as extreme athletes and know that they will put Petit Pli to the test!

Garments are designed to be machine washable! Wash at 30°C – it’s better for the environment too. We strongly recommend you use technical detergents (such as Nikwax Techwash) & reproof when necessary. Do not use fabric softener as this can remove the water repellency, but don’t worry this can be replenished in the event of an error. To dry, just place on top of the drying rack. Do not tumble dry & do not iron. When storing, lay flat and at the top of the pile, ready for the next outing.

Petit Pli believes in using materials resourcefully and fit for purpose. The majority of rainwear in the world is made from synthetics, we're just providing a smarter way to use less of that material. Synthetics aren't the problem – overconsumption and waste of plastic is. Whilst we provide a way to slow down consumption, we will do all we can to find alternative materials. Oh and our fabrics are 100% recycled and consist of a monofibre construction so they can be recycled easily. 

 

Childrenswear FAQs

The reason Petit Pli exists is to reduce the amount of unnecessary waste resulting from the fashion industry. If that's not enough to convince you, we've created outerwear that is just better! It's lightweight so you can put it in your pocket, it's rainproof and windproof to protect your child from the elements and it continuously adjusts its size so it won't be bulky nor restrictive!

The Petit Pli versatile range uses 100 OEKO-TEX® certification fabrics to ensure the material is safe for your LittleHuman. The durable water repellant coating is biodegradable and a tightly woven structure is used where possible to ensure microfibre shedding is kept to a minimum.

 

From up-cycling waste bottles into patented garments, to reducing offcuts at manufacture, CO2 emissions from unnecessary logistics, and ensuring that you receive a garment that fits the first time without having to purchase 2 to see which fits better - Petit Pli is a sustainable childrenswear revolution.
