Welcome to Palm & Panther

About

My name is Petra van Raaij, born in a little village in the South of the Netherlands. I have been passionately working in the Fashion industry for most of my adult life. 

After successfully completing my Fashion Design study, at The Academy of Fine Arts in Maastricht, I pursued a career as Hair & Make up Artist. In the 12 years working on assignments worldwide, my passion for Fashion and Beauty Photography was ignited.

In 2005 I followed my dream and started to build my career as a Fashion Photographer. My endeavours were successful and took me all over the world, mostly working at exotic locations.

After an abrupt change in lifestyle, due to global circumstances, I was ready for a change. In 2022 I based myself in the Balearic Island Mallorca, where the idea for Palm & Panther was born.

With my love for Fashion, Beauty and Art, my vision was to create an online concept store, offering Limited Edition Photography Prints together with my all time favourites from Luxury brands that I love and have worked with as a Fashion Photographer. 

Working most of my career in tropical environments, seeing glittering Palm trees in the sun give me a feeling of happiness and freedom. The mystical elegance of Felines have always inspired me, because of their sensual beauty.

Combining the two is how the name Palm & Panther came about. It is the fusion of Exotic, lush Nature, making you dream of far away places, and the timeless elegance of cats, radiating Classy sensuality. 

What was just a dream not so long ago is now reality and I am delighted to welcome you to Palm & Panther. Enjoy exploring, carefully selected, High-end items and exclusive Fine Art Photographs, created with passion and love to beautify your life and put a smile on your face.

Happy shopping!
