A LITTLE BIT ABOUT PETIDOUX [PEH- TEE-DOO]
IT ALL STARTED WITH...
Petidoux began in 2013, when Alexandra discovered the softest of Peruvian pima cotton pajamas for her sons. As the young mother of two toddler boys, she was impressed with the quality of the fabric and realized it would make the perfect foundation for her own artistic impulses.
EVERYTHING IS HAND-DRAWN
it always starts with a little bit of imagination, a sharp pen and some paper....
Definitely French-inspired, all Petidoux pajamas are designed in their offices in New York, and made in their factory in Lima, Peru, following stringent manufacturing and ethical standards.
ABOUT THE DESIGNER:
As a child, Alexandra would knit and sew with her Italian-born grandmother Mémé Joséphine, a tough, down-to-earth woman born and raised on a farm in Piedmont, who had worked in a shoe factory in Lyon after fleeing the Mussolini regime. Mémé Joséphine, became a strong anchor in Alexandra’s life, providing her and her beloved younger sister with a sense of grounding, as the family kept moving and traveling the world, following Alexandra’s father from Hong Kong, Macau and Singapore to Bahrein and the Reunion Island, with a final stop in London.
Knitting and needlework remained a passion throughout Alexandra’s life and she would always knit blankets for newborn babies, offer to stitch the occasional hole or loose hemming for her friends, send handmade scarves and sweaters for birthdays and holidays…
