Petit Fox
Petit Fox was the first company of its kind in South Africa, pioneering the secondhand online kids' clothing sector nationwide. The brand buys and sells secondhand children's clothing and maternity wear to and from parents. Petit Fox provides a way for parents to purchase high-quality clothing for their children without buying new, while also paying parents for clothes they no longer need, diverting clothing from landfill.
