Pleats Please by Issey Miyake

 ‘Pleats Please by 
 Miyake is a premier 
 example of 
 “Clothing as a 
 product” something 
 that responds to the 
 evolving needs of a 
 demanding 
 lifestyle and 
 continues to 
 delight its 
 wearers’ 


Continuing Issey Miyake’s ethos of creating a garment from one piece of cloth, Pleats Please was launched in 1993. Having perfected the pleating process since 1973, Pleats Please uses the innovative and industrial process of heat pressing. By taking pattern pieces two and a half to three times larger than the desired size and placing them between cardboard pleat patterns, permanent pleats are created. Made of high quality 100% polyester so to keep the pleats permanent, the collection is designed with practicality in mind – it stores and travels well, requires no ironing and can be machine-washed.
