Iconic design listed in TIME's 100 Best Inventions of 2020.
The BATCH5(MSK) is a non-medical, reusable face covering for adults. The (MSK) follows the contours of the face & is supported at the neck for optimal comfort. The MSK can be worn as a collar for frequent removal throughout the day. A replaceable PM2.5 filter makes the BATCH5(MSK) the perfect companion for bipedal commutes.
BATCH 5 is the fifth version of the Petit Pli MSK. It has evolved from the BETA(X) range. The BETA(X) range signals a Petit Pli research project made in limited quantities in London. If feedback is positive, the project progresses onto the next stage. This ensures we do not overproduce and waste resources. We want to design the best garments possible for you, with you.
The Petit Pli (MSK) is made from recycled fabrics & has a monofibre construction. Through its approach towards sustainability & innovation, Petit Pli hopes to instil slow-fashion values in humans whilst designing for the needs of humanity - Little & Tall. We aim to inspire humanity to value longevity and innovation in some of the most intimate products in our lives - garments. The Petit Pli BATCH 5 (MSK) is made in Portugal, our partners use 100% certified green energy.
The Petit Pli Adult (MSK) should not be used where it is required to wear a medical grade mask (eg. in a hospital). Not for sports.
Filters are made of activated carbon and non-woven melt-blown filter cloth and a five-layer filter system which works to absorb a range of airborne contaminants. Size: The filter size is approximately 12 x 8 cm, which is suitable for most adult faces.
