Melissa was created in 1979 with an inspiration coming straight from the sea. On the feet of the French Riviera fishermen, Alexandre and Pedro Grendene found the origin of the Melissa Aranha model. Within a short time, it became the brand’s icon model, one of the most sold until now.
Melissa shoes are made with its own trademark material, MELFLEXTM, a type of PVC that is 100% recyclable, flexible, resistant and comfortable. Melissa products do not contain any component of animal origin or go through animal-testing throughout its entire process of production. Today, its iconic jelly shoes are now officially registered as vegan-friendly by The Original Vegan Society.
