Founded in 2016 by designer Marina Cortbawi; Brooklyn-based Merlette thoughtfully crafts its garments from all natural; high-quality materials (cotton; wools and silks) with bespoke finishes — perfect for building a timeless wardrobe. Permanently pleated fabric is enhanced by intricate topstitch embroidery - an artisanal touch. Though unlined; the top's fitted silhouette flatters the figure while allowing breathable comfort.
