100PERCENT
The largest animal on earth, folded into the smallest pocket: the Peti Peto WHALE.
A blue whale can reach 30 metres in length. The Peti Peto WHALE fits in any wallet. This contrast is the joke – and the wonder – of the newest motif in the 100percent collection: a glasses cleaning cloth made from 100 % polyester with shape memory, permanently shaped as a whale through a Japanese pleating process. Unfold it, clean, toss in the air – the whale surfaces. A gift for ocean lovers, nature enthusiasts and everyone who looks for the largest things in the smallest spaces.
How the self-folding trick works
The Peti Peto looks like a standard origami at first glance – but it is a fully functional cleaning cloth. The secret is in the material: the polyester fabric is treated using a precision pleating process that permanently encodes a shape memory into the weave. The result: a cloth you can unfold, use, and then simply toss into the air – and it returns to its whale shape on its own.
The trick: after cleaning, toss the cloth into the palm of your hand and bounce it a few times – and the whale surfaces before your eyes. The shape memory survives washing in cold water. Important: never iron it.
The whale – Kujira in Japanese – has been a symbol of the sea and abundance in Japanese coastal communities for centuries. Japan has one of the world’s oldest whale cultures: from traditional coastal fishing to modern whale watching – on the Ogasawara Islands and in Kochi Prefecture, observing whales is one of the country’s most beloved nature experiences. The whale’s curved silhouette with its distinctive tail fluke is one of the most beautiful origami motifs in the entire Peti Peto collection.

Frequently asked questions
How does the shape memory in the Peti Peto work exactly?
The polyester fabric is permanently shaped using a precision pleating process. When you unfold the cloth and then bounce it in your hands or toss it into the air, the fabric activates its shape memory and returns to origami form – no refolding needed, no instructions. The shape memory survives cold water washing.
Is the Peti Peto really a cleaning cloth or mainly a toy?
Both. The soft polyester fabric cleans glasses lenses, smartphone screens and camera lenses without scratching. At the same time, watching it refold itself is the most entertaining thing a cleaning cloth has ever done. It works equally well as a daily utility and as a party trick.
What occasions suit the Peti Peto WHALE as a gift?
As a souvenir, birthday or Christmas gift – especially for ocean lovers, divers and glasses wearers. As a coastal travel souvenir. As a thoughtful small gift for nature enthusiasts. It fits in any envelope and is gift-ready without additional wrapping.
How do I clean the Peti Peto?
Cold hand wash is possible – the shape memory remains intact. Never iron: heat destroys the pleating and permanently removes the origami form. Air dry at room temperature and the form returns on its own.
Is the Peti Peto available in other motifs?
Yes – at Charles & Marie the Peti Peto is available in ten further motifs: red crane (TSURU Red), white crane (TSURU White), Mount Fuji (FUJISAN), giraffe (KIRIN), duck (AHIRU), penguin (PENGUIN), zebra (SHIMAUMA), panda (PANDA), red airplane (AIRPLANE Red) and sky blue airplane (AIRPLANE Sky Blue). Each motif is a separate product and can be ordered individually – or combined into a personally curated set as a gift.
What size is the cloth when unfolded?
20 × 20 cm – large enough to clean glasses lenses, smartphone screens and camera lenses comfortably. Folded, it fits in any wallet, trouser pocket or backpack.
Can the Peti Peto be ordered as a corporate gift?
Click on “Corporate Gifts” in the top menu – you’ll find all information on quantities, terms and personal consultation there.
What makes the whale a particularly strong origami motif?
The whale’s curved back and broad tail fluke create a silhouette that is instantly recognisable as a whale – even without colour, even at small scale. The Peti Peto WHALE is the only marine animal in the collection, adding a completely different world – the sea – to the Peti Peto universe.
