Workshops at our Margate store

When founding Les Animaux the aim was to create a brand that functioned outside the standard fashion industry where product is created with increasing regularity, almost immediately de valuing anything previously bought and owned. We passionately believe that clothes retain their value and beauty for years so long as they are carefully maintained, with this in mind we offer a complimentary life time repair service to our customers on any product they have bought from us and through this we have learnt and developed many tricks to repair and re invent garments that my show signs of wear and through this we wanted to spread this knowledge and share skills with anyone who was interested in learning some of these almost forgotten skills to use on their own clothes.

 In addition we have adopted a zero waste approach to the materials we use and we are always looking for inventive ways to re use scraps, to print for business cards, price labels and patchworks that can be used in garments and home furnishing, also toys and novelties. Our patchwork and toy making classes are an opportunity to share this  process with us, whilst meeting new people and also utilising scraps and discarded items you may have acquired in your own house to reinvent and create objects to treasure for the future.

Our Margate Store & Studio / 11 Lombard St, Margate CT9 1EJ

Opening our Margate store and studio in 2021 marked a new beginning for Les Animaux. It allowed us to interact directly with our customers and serve their needs with timeless products, made entirely by us in a low-impact, cruelty-free environment. We believe in total transparency in our production — quite literally, with an open-curtain policy between the shop and the studio. It’s here in Margate that we design, make, and hand-dye our collection.
