If you’ve ever been to a baby shower, you’ve seen piles of adorable clothes, many of which will never leave the drawer until it’s time for a Goodwill run.
Royal College of Art graduate Ryan Mario Yasin began Petit Pli to stop the waste with a uniquely designed clothing line that’s comfy and grows with kids, so parents aren’t heading to the store every few months in search of a whole new wardrobe.
As Treehugger explained:
Petit Pli’s pleats allow the clothing to stretch as children go through their growth spurts. No matter the size, the pleated fabric will fit the child perfectly. The solution comes out of Yasin’s familiarity with researching and designing deployable structures in the aeronautical industry, such as small satellites, which might require their carbon fibre panels to scrunch up into small spaces, and to unfold into a specific shape when deployed.
