Quality (n):
talent,
a particular aptitude
If there's one thing that we don't take any liberties with, then it's quality. And we didn't come up with this commitment yesterday, but 125 years ago! Our T-shirts meet these high standards at every stage of manufacture, out of respect for those who will be wearing them. And we also contribute to saving the planet this way. Made from natural materials (linen, cotton, or a mixture of the two), our iconic T-shirts are knitted in our factory and by our partner in Morocco, where the know-how has been passed down for twelve decades; for example, the machine invented by Petit Bateau in the 1960s to create the scalloped cocotte stitching with its tighter stitches is still in use today! None of the details on our T-shirts is left to chance, and we continually check their robustness at every stage. From seams to colourways to poppers, all our T-shirts undergo 10 different quality tests*, and each is Oeko-Tex® certified, ensuring that they contain nothing that is harmful to your skin.
Yes.
Petit Bateau knits the fabric
for its T-shirts
For our garments to remain this impeccable for so long, what never changes in your opinion, our T-shirts or your children? Petit Bateau's signature clothes are the way they are thanks to long fibres and unique savoir-faire which has been passed down in our factories for over 125 years.
Yes.
The knit used in Petit Bateau T-shirts
has been certified
by 10 quality tests*
A T-shirt that looks as good as it is strong can only be achieved by an impeccable knit. That's why we examine it in minute detail, through no less than ten quality tests*. Colour fastness, multidirectional stability, appearance, resistance to washing, bias quality, etc. We are tough on imperfections, to ensure your product is long-lasting with a perfect finish and is kind on skin.
KEY FIGURES
125 years
of expertise
and know-how
That means 1,500 months of development, of perfecting and passing down our manufacturing secrets. Our workshop spirit means that every Petit Bateau T-shirt benefits from unique expertise in terms of softness and quality.
10 quality
tests*
It's worth it before they join your life and wardrobe! It's only after passing 10 quality tests* with flying colours that our T-shirts get permission to leave. If you want to come close to perfection, just run your hands over a Petit Bateau T-shirt!
100%
of our T-shirts have
the Oeko-tex Ⓡ label
You want the best for your child, we want the best for their skin. The Oeko Tex Standard 100 label uses regular, highly demanding tests to guarantee that there are no substances harmful to your health. Our T-shirts are scrutinised down to the smallest detail and at every stage of production to ensure there is no danger of any skin irritation.
*Our 10 fabric tests: pilling, multidirectional stability, resistance, colour fastness: sturdiness in the wash, resistance to water, resistance to wear, weight per m2, resistance to washing, resistance to twisting, resistance to stretching on the bias
Durability (n):
the ability
to last over time
Our T-shirts stand up to wash after wash**, and our customers have always testified to this. But today more than ever, we want to reaffirm this commitment, because the most environmentally-friendly clothes are those that are made to last. Because the more you wear a T-shirt, the more the environmental impact of its manufacture is offset. By making clothes more durable, we ensure that your child can wear them for as long as they need them, but not just that... Once our T-shirts have become too small, they're ready to live another life as a hand-me-down for a little sister, cousin, or neighbour. Being durable is all about standing up to wear and tear but also fashion. Trends may change but Petit Bateau's timeless T-shirts stand the test of seasons and years.
Yes.
Petit Bateau T-shirts
live multiple lives
Unfortunately we can't make T-shirts that will grow with your children. But we've got an even more effective solution to reduce their environmental footprint – making super durable T-shirts that can be passed on to other children when their owner has grown too big. After 125** washes and 10 quality tests*, our T-shirts are on their best behaviour still.

After 125 washes & 10 quality tests*
Our T-shirts are on their best behaviour still. We want your Petit Bateau clothes to last over time, and through different generations and families while looking just as bright and colourful as when you got them. They may take a real beating but it's in a good cause.
KEY FIGURES
A quality T-shirt
= A durable T-shirt
Because the more you wear it, the more you offset the environmental impact of its manufacture... A garment should go with everything and be as resistant to changing trends as it is to time. Petit Bateau rolls up its sleeves… Its T-shirt sleeves! Designed to be timeless and examined carefully from every angle to ensure it is durable, a Petit Bateau T-shirt can be worn for an extremely long time and passed on from child to child.
100%
of our T-shirts
are made with
natural materials
We opt for cotton and linen over any other fabrics! That's because the choice of the raw material has a significant impact on the environment, so we chose natural fibres. Cotton, cotton/linen or 100% linen: welcome to a world of softness on your skin.
