Mela Purdie: Australian Made, Premium Technical Fashion at Lana Berg
Mela Purdie is an Australian-owned and made fashion label built on the belief that clothing should work as hard as the women who wear it. Designed and made in Australia using premium technical fabrics sourced from Japan and France, every Mela Purdie garment is engineered for comfort, effortless style and exceptional wearability across every occasion. From the boardroom to the weekend, from Sydney to New Zealand, Japan, Canada and France, mela purdie garments travel beautifully, hold their shape and arrive looking as polished as when they left the wardrobe. This is Australian-made fashion for women who want clothing that keeps up with their lives.
Technical Fabrics, Core Essentials and Signature Silhouettes
What sets Mela Purdie pieces apart is the brand's signature use of innovative technical fabrics that are lightweight, crease-resistant and designed to move with the body. Proprietary fabrications including Maché, a fine denier technical weave with an airflow finish offering relaxed fluidity and a smooth lustre surface, and Matte Finish Powder Knit, a compressed stretch knit offering relaxed drape and a fluid nature, form the backbone of the mela purdie collection. These technical fabrics dry quickly, maintain their shape and transition seamlessly from casual to polished looks without effort, making them ideal for travel, busy days and women who want comfort without compromise.
Core essentials including the Mela Purdie Relaxed Boat Neck and the Mela Purdie Pace Pants are wardrobe anchors designed to layer effortlessly with the rest of the collection. The Mela Purdie Maxi Pace Pants are crafted from the fluid and luxurious Maché fabrication in a dramatic maxi length, wide-leg cut with an elasticated waist and hip pockets, suitable for all occasions. For tops, the Mela Purdie Zip Flute Top in compressed Matte Finish Powder Knit offers a dolman sleeve and relaxed straight hem for a versatile silhouette essential to every wardrobe, while the Mela Purdie Tab Swish Plaza Top in 100% technical polyester Maché brings a stand collar, fluid sleeve and curved hem together in an easy-wearing staple with genuine polish. New arrivals, including the Villa Overshirt and Spinifex Villa Overshirt, continue to expand the collection with relaxed layering options perfect for the cooler months.
The full Mela Purdie collection covers tops, dresses, pants, blouses, skirts, shirts and jackets, with inclusive sizing from XS to XL and a range of styles spanning relaxed everyday wear through to refined occasion dressing.

We recommend cold machine wash on a delicate cycle with a mild, eco-friendly detergent. Avoid tumble drying. Air-dry in the shade to preserve fabric integrity, colour, and shape. Some pieces (silk, wool, sequins) require dry cleaning. Always check the care label sewn into the garment first.
