Melissa Shoes are back!
The brand is no stranger to us, having been stocked in the early years of Alterior Motif, we are so excited to welcome Melissa shoes back into our world.
The Brazilian footwear brand leads the jelly shoe revival with a steady stream of collaborations. Melissa's joint efforts with Y/Project stand out, offering Victorian court shoe-inspired mules, boots, and textured slides. The brand has also teamed up with fashion icons like Telfar, Collina Strada, and Jean Paul Gaultier, dating back to 1983.
Unlike traditional jelly shoes, Melissa crafts its styles in Brazil from a patented PVC called Melflex. The brand is cruelty-free and 100% recyclable. Thanks to Melflex, their very own PVC, every pair of Melissas is flexible, comfortable and resistant!

The 2024 Noosa Eat & Drink Festival will be held in the heart of Noosa from Saturday 1st June until Sunday 2nd June!
We're talking a weekend-long festival renowned for bringing Noosa to life!
The hub of the festival will be located in the Noosa Woods (located off Claude Batten Drive - at the Western end of Hastings Street) - just a four minute walk from Alterior Motif.
Founded in Byron Bay by namesake designer, Rowie Moore, ROWIE has grown into an internationally recognised label with four annual collections of ready-to-wear clothing, swimwear and accessories. From day one, the brand has gathered a loyal following through hand crafted, effortlessly styled pieces that pay respect to the coastal towns where they were created.
In honour of launching their latest Resort 24' drop in boutiques and online, we asked Rowie a few questions on the brand and what it means to her.
"Hand Crafted Bilum — A Vision For Mindful Fashion"
We are so excited to welcome this beautiful Not-For-Profit, women run brand to Alterior Motif. Started in 2015 by Caroline Sherman, Among Equals is a brand that merges art and community with fashion and the ancient practice of Bilum weaving. After her visit to the village of Goroka, to meet communities of weavers in Papua New Guinea, Caroline was motivated to empower the women and their families, and inspired by the artisan weavers’ clever colour play, Sherman went on to build the Among Equals brand around the idea of optimism and mindfulness.
