Original Animals

Original Animals is an independent UK grappling brand founded by designer Becky Lane. Its work takes the culture, humour, mythology, and shared experiences of life on the mats into hand-drawn graphics and small-batch goods.

The range includes graphic T-shirts, long-sleeve tops, crewnecks, hoodies, art prints, and other off-mat pieces. Designs are developed in a London studio and screen-printed in the UK, with organic cotton garments offered in relaxed, oversized, unisex, and women’s fits.

Original Animals treats grappling apparel as a form of illustration and personal expression rather than conventional teamwear. Its drops move between training references, animals, martial-arts imagery, and the dry humour of everyday gym life.

The result is streetwear for practitioners who want a more collectible and art-led connection to jiu-jitsu. Small runs, hand-developed artwork, and a clear London studio identity keep the brand close to independent print culture.
