About Us

Petite Femme is an Australian slow fashion label devoted to women under 5’5” (165cm). We focus on perfecting elevated essentials for the petite woman while being mindful of people and the planet. 

Petite Femme was born from a desire for an elevated wardrobe that flatters women shorter than 5'5". Discontent with ill-fitting clothes, limited options and the lack of accountability in the fashion industry, our founder set out to create a modern petite wardrobe that is synonymous with effortless elegance and sustainable luxury.

Our defining ethos emerged from the collective feedback of over 500 petite women. Informed by their unique needs, our garments are expertly tailored to fit petite proportions, with narrower shoulders, higher waists and shorter hems. 

Designed with the modern woman in mind, each collection is a capsule edit of versatile staples that form the foundations of a contemporary wardrobe. Inspired by the timeless beauty of nature, we select the highest quality natural and semi-natural fibres to create enduring styles that transcend the seasons. 

Founded on a deep reverence for our ecosystems and communities, we take a purpose-driven approach to the business of fashion, focussing on craftsmanship, transparency and integrity above all. Read more about our sustainability journey. 

As part of our commitment to conscious consumerism, we've partnered with innovative platforms and organisations that enable you to reduce your carbon footprint and give back to the global community. Learn more about our partnerships.
