An Introduction

At Merci Dema, we create more than just clothing; we weave together stories of gratitude, love, and resilience that connect us all. Through our designs, we aim to foster a world where every tear tells a story, and every garment becomes a symbol of our collective strength and beauty.

FIRST COLLECTION COMING 2025!!!

Brand Origin

Merci = Thank You. Dema = Tears. Thank you, tears! That is the ethos and very foundation from which we create. The name of the brand comes from two distinct foreign languages because while all of us are foreign to someone, emotions unite our humanity. Here at Merci Dema, we celebrate our emotions, embrace our imperfections and we look good doing it. This is a community for you to feel comfortable while you revel in why you are so thankful for your tears.

Our Founder

My name is Melly. I call NYC home, but I was born and raised in Milwaukee, WI. I have a dog. Her name is Cato. I am a licensed attorney - a career that took me over 10 years to build. One day I woke up and realized that while I had fulfilled a goal, I was not living my dream. I am a very creative person, and nothing scares me more than building a life and career around that. So, here I am - a young designer who makes cool pants, bags, and lots of other pieces that you will look good in. I am sure that many surprises await me, and I hope you come along this journey with me.
