About

Story

 

At Margene, we make trousers that fit beautifully, wear effortlessly, and last a lifetime. Our collections are crafted from artisanal fabrics sourced from British mills and specialist weavers - designed with a keen eye for detail and an unwavering commitment to longevity.

 

Our approach is rooted in craft, inspired by the tailoring traditions of Savile Row and India, where extra seam allowances are built into garments to allow for subtle changes over time. We're bringing this philosophy into the present - redefining what it means to invest in clothing while uniting a network of artisans who share our vision for thoughtful, enduring fashion. This philosophy is woven into every design and inspired our name, Margene - an evolution of 'margin,' refined and reimagined for modern women with modern lives.

 

But true tailoring doesn't stop at production; it should evolve with you. That's why we created 'Alter' - our complimentary platform that connects you with skilled local seamstresses and dry cleaners for seamless adjustments. The perfect fit isn't just about size - it's about evolving with your body, your style, and your life.

 

From the day you decide to buy a pair of trousers to the day you pass them to your daughter; we want to be there.

 

Founders

 

Margene began as a project by two friends in London in 2023, out of a frustration we all know too well - trousers that didn't fit quite right and couldn't be adjusted as our lives evolved. And we wanted to fix that.

 

Aditi, a Central Saint Martins graduate with experience at Burberry and JW Anderson, brings a refined design sensibility rooted in silhouette, detail, and craft. Kewal, an alum of Phoebe Philo, Marc Jacobs, and Margaret Howell, brings expertise in product development and production - his strengths lie in sourcing and building systems that support design with intent.
