About Zeus+Δione
Zeus+Δione was founded in 2013 with the mission of preserving and redefining Greek craftsmanship. Drawing inspiration from Greece’s rich tradition, mythology, and cultural heritage, the brand seamlessly blends timeless elements with a modern, minimalist aesthetic to create exceptional, high-quality pieces. In 2019, Dimitra Kolotoura assumed sole leadership of the company, and in 2020, internationally acclaimed designer Marios Schwab joined as Creative Director, refining the brand’s design philosophy and vision. Zeus+Δione remains committed to its core mission: safeguarding traditional techniques at risk of disappearing while supporting the local artisans who preserve them. By incorporating these time-honored techniques into its designs, the brand creates sophisticated ready-to-wear collections that reflect the essence of Greek identity. The strategic partnership with Halcyon Equity Partners S.C.A. SICAR, announced in November 2024, marks a pivotal moment in the company’s evolution. This collaboration will drive the brand’s international expansion, opening new global opportunities for Greek craftsmanship and innovation.
