Lex Deux (The Two) began in 2009 with two friends from Denmark with two very different backgrounds. Andreas, a political refugee who grew up in Copenhagen influenced by its urban street style, and Virgi, a prep from Northern Sealand. The pair wanted to fuse their respective backgrounds, styles and influences to create a brand which is “indiscriminate of gender, politics, cultural backgrounds, and religious beliefs - we are for everyone.” The pair stitched some old English patches on to a white t-shirt which, although popular with friends and family, failed to impress over 30 industry retailers. However luck changed when they headed to a shop in Aarhus, Denmark and met owners Nikolaj and Steffen who loved the product and agreed to trial a small batch of 12 which sold successfully! This was the beginning of the huge growth of Les Deux which evolved from the original t-shirt concept to a full clothing range available at over 500 retailers.
