Ethos
With everything we make and do at Margene, we prioritise:
Craft
The spirit of craftsmanship is at the heart of everything we do. From the fabric to the fit, every Margene piece is made with intent, detail, and pride - by people who know their stuff.
Longevity
Great design should outlast trends. Our trousers are made to stand the test of time and adapt - to your life, your body, and your wardrobe. We leave space - quite literally and metaphorically - for garments to be adjusted over time. We are challenging the disposable nature of fashion by offering lifetime alterations through our platform, Alter. It's not just about trousers - we're building a fresh, more considered system for dressing.
People
Behind every stitch is an experienced artisan who shares our commitment to skill, heritage, and sustainability. We're building a network of brilliant local tailors and dry cleaners - giving visibility and respect to the hands that make Margene what it is. Tailoring shouldn't be a luxury; it should be part of the everyday.
Production
Our process begins with sourcing the finest deadstock and surplus fabrics from heritage British mills and specialist suppliers.
We approach design with intention and longevity - engineering every seam and stitch to be alterable, reflecting our belief that garments should evolve with their wearer.
Working in close partnership with small-batch factories and independent makers across London and India, we prioritise quality, ethical practices, and skilled craftsmanship. From precise cutting to minimal inventory, each pair of trousers is made with care and a commitment to low-impact production.
We produce only what we need, keep things local to reduce our footprint, and build relationships that support and empower local economies.
