About Us

WHO ARE WE

Hello there! My name is Theresa Risby Atanga, the founder and designer behind Le Petit Lapin. I was born and raised in a small coastal town near Copenhagen, Denmark, but moved to Los Gatos, California as a teenager, and it is here I reside with my husband and 2 kids.

I founded Le Petit Lapin in 2022 when my daughter was a year old, and I was pregnant with my son. I had spent the last year encompassed with all the amazing things of motherhood, but was also looking for something to fulfill myself, outside of motherhood. Pair that with a new burning fondness for all things children's wear, a strong creative passion and a talent for design, I started sourcing factories that had strict sustainability standards and designed my first little 5-piece collection of organic heirloom pieces made with non-toxic dyes and organic cotton and hand sewn pacifier clips. I mainly sold via Instagram and online mom-groups. Now 2 years in, we have grown to nearly 150 stores globally, and I still love every little bit of designing and developing.

WHAT DO WE CARE ABOUT

Le Petit Lapin is designed with uniqueness in center and earth tones at the core. All our designs are intended to add a muted spark, bringing joy to the children wearing it, and with lots of "easy on the eye" factor for parents. My wish is for you to get as much life out of my garments as possible, they are designed for longevity and durability, save it for future babies, regift, resell or save for grand babies, I promise it will hold up.

We are proud that our clothe is sustainably made in India by one of the leading factories promoting sustainability in the region that carry an OEKO-TEX certification and completely toxic-dye free.

Thank you for doing your part, thank you for loving our products, thank you for joining the Le Petit Lapin family.
