About the brand

WILD ANIMALS is an Amsterdam based brand that represents freedom, power, and the wildness of nature. Founded by Rop van Mierlo a talented Dutch designer who has created a range of products that capture the beauty and majesty of wild animals in a way that is both striking and inspiring. The brand's name, WILD ANIMALS, evokes images of the untamed beauty of nature and the raw power of the animal kingdom. WILD ANIMALS is known for its unique and captivating products, which include everything from clothing, sleepwear and homewear to objects, posters and art.

For his senior thesis van Mierlo was searching for a way to illustrate WILD ANIMALS. Thanks to his early years at a Waldorf School, where he was taught to draw on wet paper, he implemented this technique to try and uncontrollably draw WILD ANIMALS. It turned out a huge success, so much that he had to capture them all in one book which he called, you guessed it: WILD ANIMALS.

One of Rop van Mierlo's most famous and first projects is the Tiger Merch collection. This collection featured a series of prints, illustrations and textures of tigers that were put on to mugs, clothes and other merch. The Tiger Merch collection was a huge success and helped to establish Rop van Mierlo as a leading designer in the industry with his WILD ANIMALS.

After exploring all the possibilities of WILD ANIMALS as a printed 2D collection, van Mierlo took the next step: a WILD ANIMALS knitwear collection. Launched in 2022 Rop van Mierlo designed eight knitwear pieces with his WILD ANIMALS designs on them. The Butterfly Cardigan, a sky blue knit that contained his two most famous butterfly designs. Made from high-quality materials this WILD ANIMALS knitwear is perfect for anyone who loves to embrace their wild side.
