The path to creating our Peppelini clothes was tough. We tripped, we fell, and sometimes, it felt like we were making one mistake after another. Many people advised us to make it easier for ourselves and use cotton for our clothes.
But the one choice we never doubted, the decision that never felt like a mistake, was using Tencel. Yes, it was more challenging, but we're glad we didn't choose the easy route.
Cotton is often grown in the driest parts of the world, where farmers suffer from harmful pesticides and unfair work conditions. We didn't want to be part of that problem.
Instead, we trusted Lenzing. We knew they produced their Lyocell in a way that respects people and the environment.
We reached a very exciting moment a few weeks ago - we sold our FIRST piece of clothing! It went to our good friends Philippe and Julie in Paris. Their kind words about Peppelini warmed our hearts and strengthened our belief in what we're doing. Here's what they wrote:
"Amazing 😍😍😍 So proud of you guys, you have created a great brand The material is so sweet, so soft, so beautiful. This is pure love on clothes ❤️"

We're over the moon and so proud. A big thank you to Philippe and Julie for buying our clothes and for their encouraging words. This is just the start of the Peppelini story, and we can't wait to see where this journey takes us. We hope you'll come along for the ride.
