Daphnis Ballerina x Susan Fang
The Susan Fang + Melissa collaboration introduces a ballet flat that beautifully blends art, innovation, and contemporary femininity. Strategic cutouts, delicately applied floral details, and a subtly sporty upper create a silhouette that feels both modern and poetic. Crafted in Melflex with a secure strap closure, the design reflects Susan Fang’s organic, fluid aesthetic while embracing Melissa’s signature irreverence and sophistication. Minimalist yet expressive, this ballet flat is an elegant, personality packed choice for everyday style.
We are proud that our shoes are and always will be vegan with Melissa’s commitment to be cruelty free in 2017. Our products will never be tested on animals and contain no components of animal origin, as registered by the Vegan Society.
We create shoes you’ll not only love, you’ll love for a long time. Our main raw material, MelFlex, is a resilient kind of PVC made with Melissa’s own technology.
The simplicity of our materials keeps us one step ahead of the footwear industry, where traditionally the complex mix of different components have been challenging to clean and reuse or disassemble and recycle. MelFlex is a durable plastic that can be in use for many years before being recycled when returned to our specialist partners.
Our factories are powered by renewable energy.
Melissa’s have been made using 100% renewable energy since 2018. Through the purchase of renewable energy certificates covering our electricity use, we have helped to reduce the carbon emissions of our manufacturing processes.
We are investing in greener infrastructure at our factories, too. For example, we have installed a Solar Power Plant at our factory in Sobral. Furthermore, in 2023, we will install over 4,000 panels at the new Crato factory, which will account for 34% of self-generated energy. The panels will also contribute to the thermal comfort of our employees.
By adding these solar panels to the roof, 2.5% of the average annual energy used to create our shoes is now powered directly by the Brazilian sunshine.
On our way to zero-waste excellence.
As part of our commitment to eco-friendly production, every piece of plastic left over from the creation of the shoes returns to the beginning of the process so that, on average, 30% of each shoe is made from this recycled factory waste.
But we don’t stop there: in 2022, 90% of our total waste was reincorporated in the production (so did not go to a landfill), and we are committed to becoming a zero-waste business where all our trash is treasured.
By example, we reuse leftover food and other organic materials to generate cooking gas and fertilizer.

Melissa x Susan Fang
A Poetic Collision of Innovation and Imagination
Melissa unveils its latest fashion collaboration with London‑based Chinese designer Susan Fang, introducing a poetic footwear collection that fuses Melissa’s innovative DNA with Fang’s ethereal, nature‑inspired vision. Launching March 17, 2026, the Melissa x Susan Fang collection transforms Melissa’s iconic silhouettes through a sculptural, artisanal lens, where footwear becomes wearable art.
Renowned for her romantic silhouettes and artistic approach to design, Susan Fang infuses the collaboration with floral motifs, sculptural details, and soft, poetic elements.
The result is a series of modern, expressive pieces that feel both contemporary and otherworldly, balancing innovation with emotion.
The Collection
The capsule features three standout styles, each reimagined with Fang’s signature delicacy and dreamlike craftsmanship:
Melissa Luna Bloom
A romantic ballet flat adorned with floral‑inspired detailing.
Melissa Possession Platform Sakura
A fresh reinterpretation of the classic Possession silhouette, elevated with sculptural accents.
Melissa Daphnis Ballerina
A refined flat capturing Fang’s elegance, fluidity, and modern femininity.
A Shared Vision
Crafted in a soft pastel palette, the collection evokes lightness, femininity, and a sense of dreamlike optimism. Each style arrives in four distinct colorways, offering expressive versatility while maintaining the collection’s cohesive, ethereal mood.
Together, Melissa and Susan Fang celebrate imagination, femininity, and the beauty of design as self‑expression, where innovation meets artistry, and every pair becomes a poetic statement.

SUSTAINABILITY
Melissa is becoming more circular and responsible every day
CIRCULARITY
The pursuit of a circular model inspires us at every stage, from pre- to post-consumption. It begins with the choice of Melissa’s raw material, Melflex. Next comes the shoe design project, which already considers the lowest possible impact. After an eco-efficient production process, the shoe goes out into the world. And, at the right time, the loop closes. This cycle is made possible by our Reverse Logistics Program, a pioneer in Brazil.
RESPONSIBILITY
We’re always looking for ways to improve our production methods. From our factories to our stores, we want Melissa to be the best company possible for people and the planet. That’s why we are working together to implement the profound changes this moment calls for.
