Christmas is only days away and if you have left things last minute (like a lot of us) we would love to shift your focus to some of our local and most loved brands. Shopping small and supporting local businesses invests back into the community and people around you. We are so lucky to have so many amazing brands based on the Sunshine Coast and surrounding areas. Read on for our top picks for last minute gifts this Christmas from our local brands. Pop into our boutiques located in Noosa and Maroochydore - local store pick up for online orders available until 5pm Christmas Eve.

While we absolutely love this time of year, the festive season can be busy, fast paced and sometimes overwhelming. We’re finding ways to slow down and ground ourselves through the hustle and bustle. Read on for our top 5 recommendations and some product selects to guide you through.

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!
