sneak peak

Here's a sneak peak at the batiks coming for summer!

I's going to be a bright and cheery range. 

I can't wait.

ten things i love about you

1. i love that you don't fade when washed over, and over, and over again

2. i love that no matter how messy and food covered you get, you are camouflage clean

3. i love that you are not pink, or blue... just for a change, but you're great for both boys and girls

4. i love that every time you get worn questions are asked about what label you are

5.  i love that all your styles are so easy to put on, especially the easy top

6. i love that you are made using age old traditional batik techniques, keeping hands on clothing production alive and well

7. i love that you are made using 100% cotton and organic plant matter dyes

8. i love that you're trans-seasonal, that with clever styling can be worn anywhere, anytime of year, rain, hail or shine

9. i love that the batiks are unique, timeless, and not always going to be repeated year after year

10. i simply love loving petit batik

Easy Tops. Too easy!

Harper has just finished helping me make the bed this morning when the dappled sun came through the window and fell upon her so beautifully. Her Easy Top in 'Classic' was looking so comfortable teamed with a wool top and leggings. The Ugg boots top off the ensemble quite nicely, don't you think?

Here's Emi wearing her Easy Top.
Watermelon anyone?

new baggy

I completely forgot to photograph the new baggy pants! Whoops. 

Hard to know what to refer to them as really. Pooh Catchers? Fishermans Pants. I think I'll leave it at the simple Baggy Pant.

I love this batik too - it's really graphic and bold. Chocolate Brown. Collector Store has some of these in stock. I only have about 5 pairs left, so contact me if you would like to have a look.

Here is Inez sheepishly modeling a pair from the last drop in a different batik. So sweet!

Frankie Little + Little Millie

I finally have some photos of my niece, Frankie, wearing one of the first tops Petit Batik made. We spent the day at Little Bay yesterday and it was un-seasonally warm - so much so that  all the kids were splashing in the water. This particular batik pattern was so popular just about every style made in it sold straight away, although I did see a Halter dress on a hanger at Collector Store the other day...... I love the hints of colour throughout the patterning. Just lovely. I hope I can re-order in this batik soon.

I have some more of these tops coming in different batiks.

I have also  managed to get some snaps of my other niece, Millie, wearing the Halter dress. This was another popular batik, so simple in its repetition. I love this dress. It's very feminine . Millie wore her Halter while holidaying in Hawaii - what better place to wear Petit Batik!
