Buy clothes that grow with your child
To tackle the speed at which children outgrow their clothes, the wearable technology company Petit Pli developed a garment designed to grow through 7 sizes.
It's estimated that 183 million items of outgrown baby clothing are kept in storage.
Benefits
- One garment can be used in replacement of 7 sizes, so reduces both consumption, CO2 emissions throughout the lifecycle and waste
- Made from recycled fabrics and have a mono-fibre construction, which allows them to be easily recycled at the end of their use!
Challenges
- They are investment pieces for your child's wardrobe so they are not cheap
- All items have a similar style at the moment, so you might not be swapping all their clothes for these
Making A Difference
Since 2017, Petit Pli has up-cycled approximately 12,841 PET bottles through manufacturing our innovative garments.
