Emotionally Durable Design | Behind Petit Pli

We all have that one garment from childhood that holds memories. We can envision the way it looked, imagine the way it felt, and think about all of the memories it held when we wore it.

But then, we think about when we grew out of this garment and we could no longer wear something that made us feel so special.

At Petit Pli, we aim to encapsulate the magic that garments carry — having them grow with LittleHumans so that these special memories don’t fade too quickly.

What is Emotional Durability?

Emotional durability is a concept that beautifully illustrates the power that garments hold. Ultimately, it illustrates how clothes can create an emotional connection between the garment and the user. With this connection, clothes can be designed to last so that this connection doesn’t fade so quickly.

Having longevity and durability in mind, emotional durability aims to capture the wonder and beauty that garments can make us feel.

Petit Pli and Emotional Durability

At the center of Petit Pli’s designs is the concept of emotional durability. With garments that are designed to capture the love and magic that LittleHumans feel when they wear them, our designs are created to last years so that LittleHumans don’t outgrow the garments that make them feel so special too quickly.

Rooted in its approach to creating emotionally durable designs, Petit Pli’s Clothes that Grow are uniquely made to grow in size as children grow up. That way, their favourite garment can last for years to come — holding every special memory that they make along the way and encapsulating the magic that garments can make you feel.

Future of Fashion

As a society that so deeply depends on our surrounding environment, it is essential that we do everything in our power to continue to care for its precious resources. Petit Pli aims to be a prime example of fostering sustainability within the fashion realm, while simultaneously providing garments that carry all of the memories that we hold near and dear to us as we wear them. We strive for longevity, durability, wonder, and creativity.

This is the core of emotionally durable design. This is the core of Petit Pli.
