About the brand

Merlette is a New York-based fashion brand founded in 2016 by Australian designer Marina Cortbawi. Named after a mythical bird in constant movement, the brand creates thoughtfully designed garments with the modern woman's everyday life in mind. Cortbawi, who previously worked at Oscar de la Renta and Carolina Herrera, recognized a gap in the market for elevated everyday clothes that combined comfort with sophistication. The brand is renowned for its easy, voluminous dresses crafted from natural fabrics like Pima cotton, silk, and wool. Merlette's signature aesthetic features handwork details such as embroidery and smocking, emphasizing freedom of movement over restrictive silhouettes. With a design philosophy rooted in versatility and timelessness, each piece is created to allow women to feel elegant and at ease, whether for daily wear or special occasions.

The Post houses a range of brand stores that are all interesting on their own—vintage denim purveyor turned basics label RLT, Brochu Walker, Merlette—but is far too homogenized for its putative client...
