For Ryan Yasin the inspiration to start his own business struck him when he realised how quickly small children outgrow their clothes. After further research into the fashion industry Ryan was left disheartened by ‘the unsustainable means by which it operates.’ This is when Ryan decided to combine his desire to start a business with the skills gained from his masters in Global Innovation Design, and Petit Pli was born. Petit Pli is helping to achieve the UN’s 12th Sustainable Development Goal, Responsible Consumption and Production, by designing clothes that grow at the same rate as children, thus reducing the need to purchase new clothes when a child grows!
