Why choose the Granada Pietenpak (Pete costume)?
The Granada Pietenpak is one of the most chosen options for those looking to buy a Pete costume with a luxurious look, but without the high price tag of real velvet. Especially for schools, clubs, and parades, this Pete costume is a smart and popular choice.
But what makes this costume so special?
A classic Pete costume with a luxurious appearance
The Granada Pete costume consists of the three classic components: trousers, a jacket, and a beret. However, its strength lies mainly in the finishing.
The beret is designed as a hat-beret, which provides a fuller and richer appearance. In combination with the elegant gold trim, buttons, and deep colours, the costume immediately looks professional and stylish.
This makes the Granada costume ideally suited for anyone looking for a representative Pete costume.
Recognizable from the film world
The appearance of the Granada costume strongly resembles the costumes from the film Bennie Stout. In this film, the Petes wear velvet suits in striking colour combinations such as blue with orange and blue with turquoise.
This recognizable style ensures that the Granada Pete costume immediately has a classic and familiar look, as many people expect during the Sinterklaas period.
The difference between velvet and polyester velvet
Anyone looking for a luxurious Pete costume will quickly turn to velvet. The so-called Malaga costumes are made of 100% cotton velvet and are known for their rich appearance.
However, there is also a price tag attached: velvet costumes often cost €250 or more.
The Granada Pete costume offers a smart alternative here:
- Made of high-quality polyester velvet
- Hardly distinguishable from real velvet
- Lighter and more practical to use
- Much more affordable
For most applications – such as parades and school use – this is the ideal balance between price and appearance.
Ideal for groups, schools, and parades
The Granada Pete costume is available in no less than 7 different colour combinations. This allows you to easily introduce variation within a group.
This makes the costume perfect for:
- Sinterklaas parades
- Primary schools
- Associations
- Events
In addition, many colours and sizes are amply in stock at the beginning of the season. This is a big advantage when you need multiple Pete costumes at once.
New colour: burgundy – red
A striking addition to the collection is the new colour combination burgundy – red. This combination gives the Granada Pete costume an extra warm and luxurious look.
While lighter colours often appear playful, burgundy-red exudes more depth and elegance. This makes this variant particularly suitable for:
- Head Petes or prominent roles
- Evening parades and events
- Groups that want a chicer look
The rich tones also combine beautifully with the gold accents of the costume, making the whole even more striking.
Good to combine with other Pete costumes
The Granada costume can also be excellently combined with other costumes. This allows you to easily assemble a complete and visually appealing Pete group.
What should you pay attention to when buying a Pete costume?
Do you want to buy a good Pete costume? Then pay attention to the following points:
1. Material
Choose between real velvet (more luxurious, more expensive) or polyester velvet (affordable and practical).
2. Appearance
Pay attention to details such as the beret, gold trim, and colour combinations.
3. Use
For intensive use (such as parades), a light and affordable costume is often more practical.
4. Group composition
Multiple colours create a playful and professional whole.
