Dancing Leopard<\/p>\n\t

<\/p><\/p><\/div>\n

Launched in 1999, British wom\u00adenswear brand Dancing Leopard became known for its bold col\u00adours and even bolder prints, inspired by the summer party island of Ibiza. Its fun dresses, jumpsuits and skirts were sold on its website and a flagship store in Ibiza, as well as online via Next, Very and SilkFred.<\/p>\n

However, the brand was hit by cashflow issues after a costly restructuring of its logistics operations and fell into administration in early 2025. It was acquired by Seb Mills, who came on board as owner and chairman. Mills is the former managing director of boxing brand Boxraw. He also spent eight years at activewear giant Gymshark, driving its online growth as the business\u2019s tech and digital director.<\/p>\n

Dancing Leopard has now partnered with global online retailer Shein\u2019s Xcelerator programme to power a new chapter of interna\u00adtional growth. The partnership allows the business to plug into Shein\u2019s suite of direct-to-consumer (DTC) services, giving it access to Shein\u2019s product fulfilment systems and global sales platform. Dancing Leopard will also shift to a new production model by plugging into Shein\u2019s on-demand production services, which will allow the brand to push creativity while avoiding high minimum order quantities (MOQs), long lead times and the risk of season\u00adally driven guesswork.<\/p>\n

\u201cOur on-demand model takes a test-and-learn approach to production,\u201d explains Cui He, spokesperson for Shein Xcelerator. \u201cWe launch new styles in very small batches \u2013 often just 100 to 200 pieces \u2013 and use real-time insights to see how customers respond.\u201d<\/p>\n

If demand is strong, Shein can quickly replenish and scale up. If not, it will sell through and move on.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis is a complete reversal of traditional, supply-driven fashion, where brands make big seasonal bets months in advance. By producing only what customers actually want, we reduce unsold inventory and respond to trends with much greater precision and agility.\u201d<\/p>\n

Drapers meets Mills to find out more about how this on-demand approach will fuel Danc\u00ading Leopard\u2019s future success.<\/p>\n

Seb Mills<\/p>\n\t

<\/p><\/p><\/div>\n

What prompted Dancing Leopard\u2019s change to on-demand production?<\/strong><\/p>\n

We reached a point where traditional production cycles were limiting our agility, tying up too much capital in inventory and slowing our ability to react to customer demand. We also saw increasing volatility in sell-through and trend velocity \u2013 the cost of being wrong was simply too high.<\/p>\n

In this space, test and learning is everything. We want to be able to test what our audience likes and double down. On-demand produc\u00adtion allows us to do that efficiently. It means we can bring more products to market, be smarter with our spend and compete with much bigger brands, even as a smaller business.<\/p>\n

What were the main challenges Dancing Leopard faced with traditional methods?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Forecasting demand nine to 12 months ahead in a fast-moving ecommerce environment was guesswork at best. We carried the financial and environmental burden of excess stock, markdowns and warehousing costs.<\/p>\n

As a print-based brand, we\u2019ve always had to be brave with design, which makes demand planning even harder. Sometimes we\u2019d get it really right and not order enough, but when a print didn\u2019t land, we\u2019d be left with large quanti\u00adties of stock because of high MOQs.<\/p>\n

We also couldn\u2019t easily top up bestsellers, as factories often required bigger follow-on orders, which slowed us down.<\/p>\n

How did you assess whether on-demand aligned with your brand values and long-term goals?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Dancing Leopard has always been about bold, expressive design, not mass production. On-demand fits perfectly with that creative freedom. Producing only what sells can drastically reduce overstock, while supporting Dancing Leopard\u2019s long-term goal of building a lean and profitable business.<\/p>\n

Over time this approach will help us learn what really connects with our audience much faster than a traditional route ever could. The biggest advantage is agility: being able to test, learn and scale with confidence.<\/p>\n

<\/p><\/p><\/div>\n

How has the move to on-demand manufacturing impacted lead times, workflow or forecasting?<\/strong><\/p>\n

The move has completely changed our product lifecycle from design to delivery. Lead times have shortened dramatically \u2013 we can now go from concept to customer in weeks, not months. Our teams work in shorter, iterative sprints rather than rigid seasonal drops and forecasting is now based on real-time feedback rather than speculation.<\/p>\n

Why did you choose to partner with the Shein Xcelerator programme as part of this switch?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Shein\u2019s infrastructure is unmatched when it comes to on-demand production and technology. We wanted a partner that had already successfully operationalised the model globally.<\/p>\n

Shein Xcelerator provides targeted and tailored services from next-generation, on-demand production to digital sampling and live consumer insights. It was a strategic decision to pair our creative strength with its supply chain services and tech capability.<\/p>\n

How does the Shein partnership fit into Dancing Leopard\u2019s broader growth strategy?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Dancing Leopard has always been a UK brand with Ibiza DNA, but we\u2019ve historically struggled to distribute internationally. This partnership changes that. It gives us the ability to serve customers globally with competitive delivery and returns.<\/p>\n

It allows us to keep operations lean, scale faster and focus on what we do best \u2013 creating beautiful products and building our brand.<\/p>\n

What advice would you give other brands considering a move to on-demand or partnering with Shein?<\/strong><\/p>\n

On-demand is the way forward, and I honestly can\u2019t think of many downsides. Be clear on your product DNA and understand where speed and flexibility can enhance it. Partnering with Shein has been a pleasure. The team is energetic, knowledgeable and has an unrivalled understanding of the fashion market through their vast customer insights. I\u2019ve visited their operations in China several times and can say first hand they are world class, and moving at a pace of innovation that\u2019s unmatched. My advice: focus on your product and brand, and let a partner like Shein take care of the logistics and operational complexity.<\/p>\n
