PETIT BATEAU

French textile manufacturer, a benchmark for quality and comfort in cotton for all generations since 1893

Founded in Troyes in 1893, Petit Bateau is more than just a clothing brand; it is a part of French emotional heritage. As the inventor of the cotton panty and the envelope-neck bodysuit, the House revolutionized children's wardrobes.

Loyal to its roots as a master knitwear maker, it maintains an absolute standard of quality, using combed cotton fibers to create durable and soft garments. Today, Petit Bateau combines industrial tradition with ecological commitments, particularly through the development of second-hand sales and organic materials.
