Hi, we're Kriss and Stephanie, a couple of multiracial third culture Asian Americans living in the UK. Pantala Athletica is our outlet for our love of tennis, fashion and the ocean, but also meeting our desire to see diverse cultures represented in sport and fashion.

We are proud to be an AAPI-owned brand and we want people in the AAPI community to feel proud of their roots. That is why Pantala Athletica is named after a dragonfly that migrates across the Indian Ocean, the same journey from India to East Africa that Kriss’ family made. Dragonflies also symbolize the soul of the dragon in Chinese culture, which is where our 龘 (Dá | Flying Dragon) logo comes from to represent Stephanie's Chinese heritage.

Stephanie is also a Doctor of Psychology with experience working with elite international level athletes. We are constantly putting together some of the best mental-performance resources and will be sharing them soon. Ultimately we want to help you look after your mind and body so you can do great things in the world. And we want you to look and feel great doing it too.
