Melke’s AW23 collection is inspired by the Roald Dahl classic James and the Giant
Peach and Tim Burton’s 1996 film adaptation. Full of peaches and pests, Melke

leans into detailed craftsmanship and handwork more than ever before. Irregulari-
ties are to be embraced as pieces throughout feature thoughtful handwork, calling

attention to the process and experience that goes into crafting each item. Includ-
ing handcrafted peaches in Brooklyn, embroidered bugs from a Ukrainian artisan,

and environmentally friendly Italian wool, the collection connects global vendors
showcasing that sustainability can be dynamic. As innuendo abounds and mischief
reigns, you’ll be wanting to sink your teeth into this juicy collection.
