Our Story
Introducing the newly launched in 2025, Mini Mela Melbourne.
Previously known as 'Piccolini' and now Mini Mela Melbourne, was founded by Natalia and Aleks, two Melbourne sisters in 2020.
Aleks is a footwear designer who graduated from one of the leading universities for Footwear and Fashion Design in Europe, and has since been working for some of the largest footwear companies in Australia. Natalia is a Chiropractor who has a special interest in children's health and development.
"We strive to be at the forefront of innovation and sustainability when it comes to our design and manufacturing of our shoes."
Since starting the business, both now mums, navigate the daily tasks of juggling their little ones and keeping up with the demand of their first baby Piccolini / Mini Mela Melbourne.
A message from us to your little ones;
Thank you for supporting a small Australia business.
We have loved creating these super cool shoes for all of your big adventures. We made sure that they are extra flexible and supportive to help you climb high, run super far and jump in lots of muddy puddles (don't worry parents, the shoes are machine washable!)
Happy playing!
With love and appreciation from Aleks & Nat at Mini Mela Melbourne.
