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. Here's a blog we wrote on the topic!

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.

 

Petit Pli's versatile range is created using a mono-fibre construction to allow for easier recycling. Please check the bottoms of the product care page for information on who can recycle your garment. If you are having trouble locating a centre - please contact us as we may be interested in re-using your used garment for Research and Development for new prototypes in exchange for a voucher.

Lorem Ipsum has been the industry's standard dummy text ever since the 1500s, when an unknown printer took a galley of type and scrambled it to make a type specimen book.

It was popularised in the 1960s with the release of Letraset sheets containing Lorem Ipsum passages, and more recently with desktop publishing software like Aldus PageMaker including versions of Lorem Ipsum.

MSK FAQs

The technical hydrophobic fabric is tightly woven and 2 ply and designed to offer a large amount of protection against water droplet dispersion across a greater surface area than typical fabric MSKs. Although a very crude test, the MSK performs very well with or without the PM2.5 filter in the candle test.

 

We have included postcards to help explain the MSK set-up and it includes a QR code to a step-by-step video set-up guide too! You can also view the set-up guide here.

 

We have made the PM2.5 filter pocket in your MSK accept a wide range of standard sizes. Since we are fulfilling ordered worldwide, we felt this would be a better option for you, rather than tie you into once size that we would provide. Simply search for PM2.5 filters in your local territory - if you are having trouble locating them - contact us at care@petitpli.com and we will be happy to help!

 

Each MSK order includes 1 MSK, 2 PM2.5 filters, 2 nose wires and a tyvek bag that adheres to our zero-waste packaging concept - carefully unpick the read thread to re-use the tyvek bag to protect your MSK when on the go. Please note, "BATCH 5" refers to the fifth iteration of the MSK design, it does not mean 5 MSKs are included.
