The brand
Since 2016
It was after the birth of her first daughter that Astrid, the brand's founder, wanted to shake up the market for personalized birth gifts, with a simple idea: to offer high-quality products combining timeless style and colors.
It seems obvious from where we stand now, but looking back, the world of newborn gifts at that time oscillated between ultra-classic and wildly colorful.
It was right in between these two extremes that the brand's first iconic products found their place in 2016 — and continue to exist today, almost 10 years later! Mission accomplished!
The place to gift
From the very beginning, one essential thing drives us: the desire to bring joy! When people come to Petit Picotin, it's to find THE gift that will truly touch the heart of the person receiving it #boum boum. That's the mission guiding all our creations!
Today, the brand has over 90 different products to accompany families through every milestone. To celebrate births of course, but also to mark Christmas, birthdays, holidays, first days at nursery, the back-to-school season… There's a Petit Picotin product for every moment, big or small!
Some write it
on walls…
… We prefer to do it on products that last!
We're talking about personalization of course! It's kind of our trademark, what sets us apart. We've offered it from the very beginning on all our products, to say "I love you, welcome, thank you."
With a first name, a sweet word, a mantra – best mum, bisous, dolce vita – it adds that little extra soul that makes every order truly unique and full of emotion.
For the best
and the long-lasting
From the very beginning, we've designed sturdy, well-thought-out products that are (truly) made to last. And it's not just marketing!
We apply this discipline to every choice we make, from the selection of raw materials down to the little recycled cotton label — because yes, sustainability is (also) in the details!
Our linen is 100% French (#pride!), our cotton is organic, GOTS-certified, woven and dyed in France. Not everything is perfect yet and we still have progress to make, but we always stay the course of offering the best for our children and for the planet. That's what keeps us moving forward!
We work with a short supply chain
(and not the other way around)
Our products are made in Portugal, at our long-standing partner's workshop, with whom we share the same values and a passion for quality craftsmanship (and that's invaluable for guaranteeing a very high level of quality).
Between the manufacturing workshop and you, there is only one intermediary: us! Each piece is meticulously personalized in our workshop in Nantes, with high-level expertise and precision: each personalization is unique, and if you multiply the number of products by the number of first names… that's a whole lot of combinations to master to perfection!
Certified
"real life"
Our first source of inspiration is you!
All our creations are born from observing the fast-paced daily lives of children and their parents. That's what allows us to imagine (truly) useful products, designed for real life.
And for certification, you can count on Prune, Philippine, Colombe and Gaston — Astrid's children — who put every new product through its paces to validate its durability, ease of use, practicality... Almost as effective as lab tests, with the added honesty of children! (Don't worry, we still double check with certified professionals!)

Sales out!
With us, you won't see any sales or promotions.
We prefer to offer you fair prices all year round, rather than inflating them at certain times only to mark them down the rest of the time.
And it also fits into the continuity of our model: timeless products, not subject to the endless spiral of trends and collections. Add to that a production in carefully considered quantities, and you get a controlled stock, with no dormant product to desperately offload…
In short, as you'll have gathered, we've chosen the fair price — whatever the season!
