PLASTIC HAS ALLOWED MELISSA TO TRANSLATE TEXTURE AND TOUCH INTO THEIR MOST SENSUAL AND SCULPTURAL FORMS.
SUSTAINABILITY IS A PRINCIPLE THAT GUIDES ALL INITIATIVES IN THE BUSINESS OF MELISSA. FROM THE DESIGN PROCESS, ALL THE WAY UNTIL THE FINAL DISTRIBUTION OF THE PRODUCT, EACH STEP IS CAREFULLY PLANNED IN ORDER TO CAUSE THE LOWEST POSSIBLE IMPACT ON THE ENVIRONMENT.
MELISSA IS ECO-FRIENDLY

MELISSA’S COMMITMENT TO THE
ENVIRONMENT, AND DESIRE TO IMPROVE THE
QUALITY AND FLEXIBILITY OF PVC, HAS RESULTED
IN THE CREATION OF A GROUNDBREAKING
MATERIAL CALLED MELFLEX. MELFLEX IS
A FORM OF PVC THAT PROVIDES
IMPROVED ELASTICITY, IMPERMEABILITY
AND RESISTANCE. IT IS HYPOALLERGENIC,
ODORLESS, NEUTRAL AND NATURAL.
100% RECYCLABLE, IT MAINTAINS ITS
CORE PROPERTIES THROUGHOUT
THE PRODUCTION PROCESS.

CONTINUALLY STRIVES TO BE
THE LEADER IN TECHNOLOGY
AND DESIGN OF PLASTICS.

TECHNIQUES, COLORS, FINISHES,
PATTERNS AND SPECIAL
EFFECTS. THIS DESIRE FOR
UNIQUENESS IS A PRINCIPLE
THAT GUIDES THE COMPANY’S
DESIGN LABORATORY AND
HAS MADE MELISSA THE
INDUSTRY REFERENCE FOR
PLASTIC FOOTWEAR.
MELISSA ALWAYS LOOKS FOR ALTERNATIVE
WAYS OF EXPRESSING NEW IDEAS.
THAT IS WHY,
SINCE THE 80’S IT HAS PARTNERED WITH SOME
OF THE BEST KNOWN PROFESSIONALS WORKING
