ABOUT L’ESTRANGE LONDON
L’Estrange is a B Corp menswear brand on a mission to make owning less the new luxury and reduce the number of clothes we need in our wardrobes.
This mindset goes beyond how we use clothes, rethinking our impact at every stage of the lifestyle of garment production - publishing an annual impact report showcasing our progress. This spans from using only renewable or recycled materials to free-lifetime repairs to the launch of Re_Work - a limited run of used but fully restored garments.
L’Estrange has been on a fast growth trajectory since becoming direct-to-consumer in 2017 - growing more than 20x. The brand has been championed by major UK publications including GQ, The Times who named L’Estrange “the new smart casual” and Business Insider who included us in their top 10 sustainable brands to watch. We have recently been within the FT top 100 fastest growing brands in Europe.
Now we’re embarking on the next stage of international expansion online and via a network of physical stores.
