Melissa’s Mirror Collection

THIS SEASON, Melissa launches its Mirror collection, composed of a wide variety of styles, from sandals to sneakers. Inspired by the 1990s, Mirror includes shoes that bring back fond memories of that decade’s jelly shoes updated for a sleeker look. The Big Heart sandal line comes in metallic options with the Big Heart Chrome. Ladies who opt to wear closed shoes at the office can wear Melissa’s Pointy Heart flats. Meanwhile, the classic ballet flats’ designer collab series featuring Vivienne Westwood and Jason Wu have been updated. A top trend this season — the “tourist sandal” — has been tackled, resulting in the Melissa Papete + Rider adjustable sandals. For the rainy season in the city, Melissa has Line sneakers and the Ulitsa Sneaker Platform along with the Be Babouche slides and Twist mules. This October, watch out for new releases and promos as Melissa celebrates its 40th anniversary.
