Dancing Leopard is a boho-chic women’s label inspired by its vibrant Indian and Balearic roots. It offers colourful, playful apparel as well as activewear, loungewear and swimwear. The brand is best known for its unique, hand-painted prints and bright colors.
origins
The Dancing Leopard story began in 2009 when Jade and Jack, the brand’s founders, were inspired by the vibrant fabric markets of Goa. They began collecting materials and fabrics in bright colors and playful prints, and collaborated with a tailor to create strong fashions. After initially selling their styles in London, the duo headed to Ibiza, where Dancing Leopard quickly gained a reputation for their bold designs and bohemian spirit in some of the island’s finest boutiques.
“We remember the day we received our first online orders. It meant so much to us that people loved our clothes and we never took that for granted,” the founders recall on the company’s website.
evolution
Dancing Leopard cares about the planet, its wildlife and future generations, and strives for greater sustainability. As well as designing timeless collections that can be worn all year round, the label has also started using eco-conscious fabrics and launching models made from recycled fibres. In 2021, the company launched its new label HALO, a collection made with eco-friendly ECONYL® regenerated nylon.
Current
Dancing Leopard has come a long way since its inception but still holds to the same values to this day. The brand now has a team of over 20 employees and sells its products through an international website and sales outlets in ten countries. In order to become even more sustainable over time, Dancing Leopard intends to make all styles from eco-friendly fabrics in the future.
