What is Melania?

Melania is an Italian footwear company specialising in children's shoes, with the well-being of children at the heart of the brand. It presents its collections at MICAM, the international footwear fair in Milan.

Products and positioning

The collections cover leather footwear for small feet, from shoes for formal occasions to sneakers and sandals. Styling moves between romanticism and a contemporary spirit: formal designs have featured screen-printed leather bootees and sandals with organdy and lamé details, while sneakers take a playful, rock-inspired direction with platforms, spotted textures and neon inserts. Comfort is a constant theme, with anatomical footbeds, memory foam insoles and easy fastenings such as zips and straps.
