Zeus+Δione, Greece’s premier lifestyle brand, renowned for celebrating cultural heritage through sophisticated and high-quality creations, is proud to announce a strategic investment by the Growth Private Equity Fund, Halcyon Equity Partners S.C.A. SICAR.
Halcyon Equity Partners will serve as a catalyst for Zeus+Δione’s growth, propelling the brand’s global expansion through the strategic establishment of physical locations on an international scale. With their strategic vision, extensive global network and industry expertise, Halcyon aims to enhance the brand’s presence and solidify its standing within the global fashion industry.
Founded in 2013, Zeus+Δione has been established as an authentic “heritage” brand with a strong presence in both domestic and international markets. Offering a diverse range of products, including apparel, accessories, swimwear, footwear, jewellery, and a recently launched premium homeware collection, the brand emulsifies contemporary design with the revival of traditional craftsmanship, local production, and minimalist aesthetics. Drawing inspiration from Greek mythology, history, and the arts, it honours its cultural roots while embracing modernity. The appointment of internationally acclaimed designer Marios Schwab as Creative Director in 2020 has further refined and elevated the brand’s design ethos.
The investment from Halcyon will enable Zeus+Δione to build on its strong commitment to creativity, sustainability, craftsmanship, innovation and social impact. Halcyon Equity Partners’ investment will act as catalyst in the Company’s growth by accelerating the brand’s international expansion in existing and new key luxury markets, to further grow its product categories and accessories, and strengthen its online and omni-channel presence.
