all in all - very easy to love ♥
we believe in...
passion – we are devoted and sincere in everything we do
ethical mindset – we encourage only to buy what you need
craftsmanship – local artisans make our clothes
design – we design for small folks ... to wear - love and re-love
the 3 c's
we are firm believers in community, consciousness, and craftmanship:
community
two of the greatest joys of having a small, independent business are the people and our partners.
petit by basics was build on the same foundation as by basics - and was built by not only our blood, sweat, and tears but with the help and support of our families, colleagues, and customers
consciousness
every day, people are bombarded with impressions and decisions to make - one of our goals is to make your choice in shopping more straight forward and transparent - therefore, all petit by basics products are ethically made with a sustainable focus:
animal welfare
no use of harmful chemicals
an ”only buy what you need” approach
social responsibility
we believe in reducing waste as much as possible - why we have a "zero waste" philosophy - for instance, we cut our merino wool by hand - reusing patterns repeatedly - the cut-offs are upcycled for smaller styles and accessories or unravelled at a nearby factory and given a second chance ... we say "to good to go"
craftsmanship
we seek our inspiration from the nature, the city, what we eat, see, and feel
we only use natural and biodegradable materials
we treasure the old traditions of craftsmanship through the details of our goods
we have our own production facility in poland - employees are treated with respect, fair and competitive salary with no piecework and with solid healthcare programs
