INTRODUCING COLLECTION 24
For Pre-Fall 2026, our 24th collection found its frame in the Mexico City's tree-lined streets, painted facades, and late-afternoon light.
The season began with the work of John Kacere, the American painter known for his sensual realism. His paintings gave the collection its mood: softness without fragility, romance without nostalgia. That mood takes shape in airy organza patchwork, delicate appliqué, and lace detailing — and, alongside our reimagined signature tiers, in sculptural trench coats, artisanal knitwear, and softly tailored suiting.
Mexico City gave us the colors. Berry and bordeaux from the markets, straw and olive from the architecture, jacaranda from the trees that turn the city violet each spring, indigo from a craft tradition centuries deep.
Travel has always been at the heart of Merlette — not the itinerary, but the feeling. The Merlette woman travels lightly, finds beauty in the everyday, and moves through the world with ease.
Explore romance, vivid detailing, and fluid draping.
