The Animal Story

Animal began life back in 1987 with a single product, the hook and loop watch strap. Designed by two surfers, the strap quickly gained recognition within the action sports community for its rugged, functional nature and the Animal name was born.

Taking inspiration from its board sports heritage, Animal has expanded to become a leading lifestyle brand. Over the past three decades, the in-house design team has created authentic clothes and accessories, collaborating with riders and artists, while retaining the passion for adventure that started the journey all those years ago.

We are proud to collaborate with renowned artists and illustrators and that our own creative team all remain in-house, from the product developers to the graphic designers, working on each new piece.
