ABOUT
LOTUS EATERS
The Brand
Lotus Eaters is a lifestyle brand founded by designer Aris Tolios, inspired by the ancient Greek myth of the lotus fruit, which bestowed feelings of euphoria and altered perception upon those who consumed it. The brand embodies this philosophy, aiming to make wearers feel complete, unique, confident, and comfortable—a true sense of euphoria.
The brand's collections are crafted in Greece, utilizing unique fabrics created by artisans and the designer himself. These materials are developed using traditional family techniques passed down through generations, connecting back to the brand's roots and delivering special garments to the retail sector.
Tolios's design philosophy is influenced by the interplay of harmony and conflict, exploring themes such as the beauty of chaos, the imperfections of classical beauty, the impact of icons, and the universal human experiences of love, peace, and war. Each collection reflects this "Lotus Eaters" way of thinking: dizzying and ecstatic.
Today, Lotus Eaters is proudly available in 20 countries, spreading its unique vision of fashion and design worldwide.
