About LEOPHIL

LEOPHIL is a ready-to-wear design studio, designing fashion that is timeless, effortless and elegant. We cherish the beauty of craftsmanship, details made by hand and selecting high end natural fabrics and wools. We work only with the best materials, chosen for their beauty, quality and comfort.

Every piece is designed and made with intricate details in the Melbourne studio. Mindfully created garments outside of trends - clothes that can be collected, passed on and worn by all ages.

The label is a synergy between founder and National Design Prize finalist Valerie Jantz’ cultural heritage and her place of residence; merging Swiss precision and traditional craftsmanship with Australian effortlessness. With her background in Millinery, Fashion Design and Fashion Styling, she can draw from a wide spectrum of knowledge, gained by studying at the Academy of Art and Design Basel and working in fashion houses in Paris and New York.

Her aim is to craft clothes for people who appreciate minimalism and designs that leave room for the wearer's individual touch. Clothes that last, are easy to wear, feel great and play with unexpected design details.

Consciousness is not only a slogan for us. We create garments that are crafted with a positive impact for the planet and the people. LEOPHIL is one of the only labels in Australia that do not use any fabrics that are made of or contain synthetic fibres (Nylon, Polyester, Acrylic). Those of which are contributing heavily to our Microfibre pollution problem, are from finite resources and do not break down. We also incorporate dead stock fabrics in our collections and produce only as much as we need to reduce overproduction. We also believe that the longevity of a garment heavily contributes to the sustainability of clothing. With the possibility to wear it longer, repair it or pass it on.

If you have any questions regarding our sustainability commitments or have any concerns you would like to discuss, you are welcome to contact us with your query hello@leophil.com
