HOW WE STARTED

Margotine started with a simple observation: a lot of clothes made for teens cost way more than they should. At 13, I wanted to build something different — affordable, well-made basics that don't need a big allowance to buy.

We launched with three graphic T-shirts, all 100% cotton, instead of thirty different designs. Every piece is one I'd wear myself, which is the only quality bar that's mattered so far.

OUR FOUNDER

I'm 13, and I started Margotine because starting a business isn't something people expect from someone my age and I wanted to change that. No fashion school, no investors, just an idea, a laptop, and a lot of late nights figuring out how a t-shirt actually gets made.

If Margotine proves anything, it's that you don't need to be older, or have it all figured out, to start. Age shouldn't be the thing that holds an idea back and I hope this shows other young people that building something of their own is closer than it looks.

OUR BRAND

Margotine makes wardrobe basics you'll actually reach for, not statement pieces, not trend pieces, just well-made staples that work with everything else in your closet, without the overpriced tag.

Every tee is 100% cotton — soft, simple, built to last. As I grow this, I'm adding pieces slowly and only when they meet the same bar: something affordable I'd want to wear on repeat.
