Our Story

Spunky Panda’s story began in 2009 with the launch of FilmDori, a UK-based videography brand dedicated to capturing the excitement and passion of drifting. From grassroots practice days to competitive drift events, FilmDori documented the growth of the UK drift scene through high-quality filming and editing.As the brand developed, FilmDori sought a distinctive identity and commissioned an artist-created panda character, securing the rights to use the design as its official logo. The panda quickly became synonymous with the brand, appearing on FilmDori’s media and a limited run of stickers that were popular within the drifting community.As new opportunities emerged, the team looked beyond videography and explored the world of apparel. Rather than repurpose the original FilmDori mascot, a decision was made to preserve the original panda exclusively for FilmDori and create an entirely new character for a dedicated clothing label.This led to the creation of Spunky Panda—a streetwear brand inspired by automotive culture, creativity, and individuality. Built around a fresh panda identity, Spunky Panda introduced a range of original designs for hoodies, T-shirts, and urban apparel, combining bold graphics with a distinctive personality that reflects its roots in the drifting scene.Today, Spunky Panda continues to build on that heritage, bringing together streetwear, automotive culture, and creative expression under a brand that celebrates standing out from the crowd.
