What is Zeus+Dione?
Zeus+Dione is a Greek label that presents itself as a lifestyle brand rather than a clothing line alone. Its name draws on Greek mythology, and its collections are built around traditional Greek craft techniques reinterpreted for contemporary wardrobes.
History
The idea for the label was first discussed by founders Dimitra Kolotoura and Mareva Grabowski-Mitsotakis around 2011 on the island of Syros, and it started as a side project before growing into a full business. Kolotoura's brother, Yiannis Kolotouras, manages the company's logistics.
Products and positioning
The range includes shirts, silk blouses and other womenswear, alongside home items such as a stool with a woven twine seat. Production relies on a network of Greek workshops and craftspeople:
- Silk produced in Soufli
- Lace from Ilia
- Embroidery carried out in Argos
- Macramé by independent artists from several regions of Greece
Distribution
The brand operates a store near Syntagma Square in Athens and sells through its own website.
Why it matters
Zeus+Dione is an example of a Greek brand building a premium identity on regional craft supply chains, turning heritage techniques such as silk weaving and embroidery into a contemporary product offer.
