Menswear Style Podcast

The story of Les Deux began in Copenhagen in 2011 when two seemingly opposite worlds collided. A law student from the suburbs crossed paths with a creative soul with international roots at a city bar. Their conversation sparked over a T-shirt: a plain white piece, adorned with military patches sewn by hand.

Despite their contrasting backgrounds - preppy meets urban, entrepreneur meets creative - they shared a vision: to create a menswear brand inspired by their differences. That simple T-shirt became the starting point for a bold dream: to merge preppy and urban styles, foster inclusivity, and make a positive impact on people’s lives worldwide.

Since that fateful meeting, Les Deux has grown from a modest apartment-run business into an international brand with a team of 100. Through it all, one principle has guided them: when people from different walks of life come together, incredible things happen. This belief shapes everything they do.

Inspiration comes from people - diverse communities that embrace everyone and moments of connection where strangers lift each other up. From tight-knit basketball teams in Paris to everyday acts of kindness, they find creativity in the passion, resilience, and heart.

Les Deux is a testament to the relationships they’ve built along the way. The collective energy of people working together has been essential to success and fuels their commitment to giving back. Community is at the core of who they are, and through a Legacy program, they strive to create opportunities for those who’ve been left behind.
