For the last 20 years, we have navigated the fashion industry with our hearts.
Our wish first and foremost is to bring you joy with colourful clothing that adds a spirit of creative freedom to your wardrobe.
But there is no joy without accountability:
Our actions have a real impact and we try to ensure our impact is managed, minimised and, where possible, positive!
Since all of us are working from the heart to change our business:
Our manifesto is called FROM THE HEART.
Des Petits Hauts has always been inextricably linked with a total commitment to quality.
We might be clothing designers, but first and foremost we’re demanding customers and lovers of fine materials with an appreciation for garment quality.
That is why we choose to surround ourselves with the best manufacturers and why we select
their finest raw materials.
Choosing the right materials is a vital step in offering high-quality clothing! We are passionate about natural materials: mohair, merino, wool, linen, alpaca, cotton and more.
We select the highest-quality examples and require certifications from manufacturers to assure you that our products do no harm and that our approach considers the environment.
This means refraining from using certain materials, like angora, as overproduction is a scourge on this supply chain,
with negative consequences for animal welfare.
Whether they’re based in Italy, India, Romania, China or Portugal, all our partners have one thing in common: they’re fantastic!
Our partner workshops do an amazing job. They share our taste for fine craftsmanship and the art of finishing.
Without them, there would be no bright colours, dazzling glitter or incredible softness. They make everything we dream of – and they do it so well.
We’re proud to have been one of the first brands in our field to have focused on transparency with Fairly Made, a company that has a positive impact.
Thanks to them, we can provide you with product information that tracks the item’s history from the very first thread to the final version.
With Fairly Made, we offer 100% transparency of the social and environmental impact of our products. Since progress always starts with understanding, we analyse this data and use it as focus for our work as we reduce our negative impact.
This lasting partnership has given rise to six 100% eco-friendly and responsible capsule collections. And we hope many more will be coming very soon!

Being a brand and existing for two decades on the French market
gives us a voice and the opportunity to support initiatives and people that inspire us.
Our hobby: creation! Better yet, feminine creation. We love artists, illustrators, craftsmen and all women who have precious know-how.
We have also increased the number of actions undertaken through donations, auctions, clothing collections and a programme for reusing fabric scraps.
To do good around us, 3 pillars guide us:
We have made it our mission to support women artists and beautiful artisanal skills.
This is why for 20 years, every year, we have supported one or more artists by offering them collaborations:
- creation of a pattern
- development of illustrated stationery
- offer their items in our stores
The list of extraordinary women with whom we have had the chance to collaborate is long: the painter Léa Maupetit, the ceramist Camille Esnée or Élise Lefebvre…
Nous avons à cœur d’utiliser tous nos tissus : rien ne se perd !
En 2019, nous avons initié un partenariat visant à recycler nos chutes de tissus imprimés afin de confectionner des petits cadeaux pour nos clientes.
Nous avons imaginé des pochons puis des jolis chouchous.
En 2021, nous avons réemployé des chutes de cuir pour réaliser des broches et d’autres petits cadeaux upcyclés.
Parfois, au grès des saisons, chouchous ou encore bananes upcyclés à partir de nos tissus, sont à retrouver dans nos collections.
Enfin, nous adorons chiner : depuis le premier jour, nos boutiques sont meublées avec des pépites trouvées en brocantes et chez des antiquaires !
Nous nous donnons la mission de soutenir les femmes artistes et les beaux savoir-faire artisanaux. C’est pourquoi cela fait plus de 20 ans que chaque année, nous soutenons une ou plusieurs artistes en leur proposant des collaborations comme :
- création d’un motifou d’une illustration
- développement de belle papeterie
- proposer leurs objets uniques et exclusifs dans nos boutiques
La liste des femmes extraordinaires avec qui nous avons eu la chance de collaborer est longue : la peintre Léa Maupetit, la céramiste Camille Esnée ou Élise Lefebvre, l’artiste textile Chaumière Oiseaux...
