Introducing Collection 21

As we unveil Merlette’s Pre-Fall 2025 Collection, the campaign marks the opening of our first store in Montecito—an exciting milestone in our journey. Each image encapsulates the serene beauty of Montecito, inviting an experience of the harmonious synthesis of nature and style that defines Merlette.
Drawing inspiration from the organic forms of ceramicist Toshiko Takaezu, the collection blends sculptural shapes with lightness and versatility, infusing our designs with youthful energy and refined details. In a unique collaboration with artist Claire Resnik, we’ve crafted custom-made ceramic belts and embellished bags, adding a creative touch to the collection.
This season’s campaign was photographed through the lens of the talented Polly Brown where our muse, Atherton Johnson, is captured against the breathtaking backdrop of Santa Barbara, California and is gracefully styled by Roxane Danset.
Our latest collection celebrates the refined elegance of natural fibers and a lifestyle that embraces ease by introducing new fabrics, including lightweight organza, linen twills, and sustainable pointelle cotton.
