Rare Dirndl was founded in 2010 and has been growing ever since. Designer, Erika Neumayer started the clothing line when searching for a fashion-forward dirndl in America seemed impossible. Her first collection, Rainforest, pushed the boundaries by using unconventional dirndl fabrics, textures & silhouettes and included the best-selling dirndl (the only one of its kind) The Leopard Dirndl.
