Kyu Mélange, pronounced Q-Mey-Longe, is a luxury brand built on fusion. Based in New York, this stunning brand creates fashionable, fresh, functional pieces for men and women. The statement pieces include bags and clutches that are must haves this summer.
Staying true to it’s meaning, Kyu Mélange collaborates with manufacturers across the globe to develop their raw materials. The countries from which the brand sources their materials include: Italy, Argentina, Austria, Uzbekistan, Turkey, Brazil, Peru, India, Ethiopia, Senegal, Columbia, and Jamaica.
As you can sense from the collection, this gorgeous brand is bigger than the industry in which it operates. Kyu Mélange sets the bar, not only with its style, but also with its mentality. It is inspiring women all across the world, especially with its “Business of Fashion” model, which is all about empowering women in creative industries through training and education.
What truly makes this brand extra special are the people behind it. I recently spoke with Kyu Mélange’s founder, Kesi Gibson, and I could feel her passion and drive through the phone as we discussed where this brand is heading.
Big things are on the horizon for this fashion company and it is an exciting time for Gibson. With Kyu Mélange recently being featured on the Hallmark channel and the brand’s recent success at the Independent Handbag Designer Awards, the sky is the limit for this up & coming luxury brand.
The brand is becoming so popular that the website is seeing more and more traffic these days. Actually, so much traffic that it crashed the site recently, but in my opinion that’s a great problem to have.
Expect to see more from Kesi Gibson and her Kyu Mélange signature designs, because this is just the beginning.
If you are in the New York City area be sure to check out Kyu Mélange’s in their pop-in-shop at 179 Stanton Street to shop exclusives from the collection. The limited shopping event ends on June 29th.
