Mini Melissa is the children’s footwear line from the iconic Brazilian brand Melissa, which began transforming plastic into fashion in 1979. Founded by the Grendene Bartelle brothers, Melissa gained global recognition for its avant-garde “jelly” shoes, and Mini Melissa translates this spirit for a younger audience. The shoes are crafted from Melflex™, a patented, 100% recyclable, and vegan PVC that is both flexible and durable. Known for their vibrant colors and playful designs, which often include collaborations with brands like Disney and designers such as Vivienne Westwood, the shoes are instantly recognizable and famous for their signature bubblegum scent.
