Melissa is setting the stage for a thrilling double act, ushering in two dynamic collaborations featuring styles that ignite movement and momentum. These Fall/Winter 2023 releases are perfectly aligned with the brand's latest campaign called 'Joyscapes,' which celebrates joy in motion.

Melissa's new campaign introduces fresh and eye-catching designs that are visually captivating and bold despite their simplicity. The latest products still carry the distinct, funky, and colorful vibe, as well as the iconic sweet scent, the brand has been known for since its inception in 1979.

The first partnership comes via the reversible Melissa Mogu Bag + 52 by Hikaru Matsumura, designed in collaboration with the renowned fashion designer known for his work in the ISSEY MIYAKE Paris collection as well as being the chief designer of PLEATS PLEASE ISSEY MIYAKE. Hikaru Matsumura is a renonwed Japanese-born fashion designer, who has served as the creative director for 52 BY HIKARU MATSUMURA since 2017.

The bags for this exclusive line seamlessly blend playful sophistication with firm structure and modular patterns, creating a visually captivating and sensory-stimulating effect. Released in four colorways (yellow, white, black, and pink), the bags are available online at www.melissaphilippines.com and in select stores: Clube Melissa SM North Edsa, TriNoma, Shangri-La, Uptown BGC, SM Aura, newly-opened Clube Melissa MOA, and Melissa pop-up shops in Alabang Town Center and Megamall.

Next up is the Telly Jelly collection, the Brazilian brand’s first-ever collaboration with the unisex fashion label, TELFAR. Futuristic yet wearable at the same time, this range offers a fully transparent take on the partner brand’s ubiquitous shopping bags which come in small, medium, and large sizes, and white, black, brown, and pink colors. The bags are accompanied by genderless unisex slides. TELFAR is a Black-owned, genderless fashion project founded in 2004 by Telfar Clemens in New York City.

Beyond the aesthetics, each piece from the entire collection is meticulously developed and designed, showcasing fluid lines and a tubular construction, molded using Melissa’s exclusive and sustainable Melflex materials. Whether it’s for an upcoming night of music and dance, meeting up with friends, or just feeling stylish while on the go, the Telly Jelly pieces make for ideal additions to any wardrobe for this season and beyond. Melissa Philippines will bring in the collection this end of December 2023.

The brand gave the members of the press and several influencers an exclusive peek into these two new collections, plus the rest of its Fall/Winter 2023 collections, during an event held at Eesome in Taguig City.
