For the last 25 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 are proud to have been one of the first brands of this size to focus on transparency with the impact company Fairly Made .
Thanks to them, we allow you to read product sheets that tell the story of the life of the garment from the first thread to its finished version.
With Fairly Made, we are 100% transparent about the social and environmental impact of our production.
In May 2025, we're taking another step forward: we're still one of the very first French brands to display the environmental cost of our clothing directly online, well before it became mandatory.
Why? Because you can only improve what you measure.
Evolving always starts with understanding, we analyze this data and use it as a focus to reduce negative impacts.

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:
Since 2016: Rire Médecin Solidarity Sale, for the benefit of hospitalized children and cardiac surgery sponsorship sale for children with heart defects.
Since 2018: Arcat Braderie, for the benefit of the fight against HIV.
Since 2019: Prométhée Humanitaire Braderie, for the benefit of street children.
2020: Donations of scraps of old fabrics to several associations and independents against Covid-19.
2021: Major Collab for Love auction, to support Gustave Roussy.
2022: Donation of DPH changing rooms and large collection of 205kg of clothing to the Cravate Solidaire & Donation association for the Red Cross , in support of Ukraine.
Since 2023: More than €26,000 donated to the Curie Institute , thanks to the sale of our Marina T-Shirt.
2024: €1 donated for each order during our Soft Sweater Days to the Maison des Femmes association. New donation to La Cravate Solidaire.
2025: More than €10,000 donated to the Cape Code coding association.
We are committed to using all our fabrics: nothing is wasted!
In 2019, we initiated a partnership aimed at recycling our printed fabric scraps in order to make small gifts for our customers .
We designed pouches and then pretty scrunchies.
In 2021, we reused leather scraps to make brooches and other small upcycled gifts.
Sometimes, depending on the season, scrunchies or even fanny packs upcycled from our fabrics can be found in our collections.
Finally, we love to hunt for bargains : since day one, our shops have been furnished with gems found at flea markets and antique dealers !
Our mission is to support female artists and beautiful craftsmanship. That's why, for over 20 years, we've supported one or more artists each year by offering them collaborations such as:
- creation of a pattern or illustration
- development of beautiful stationery
- offer their unique and exclusive 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, the textile artist Chaumière Oiseaux...
