At Antonio Melani®, we believe that true style comes from within. For over 30 years, our brand has been inspired by the confident, sophisticated woman who isn’t afraid to express her personal style. Our vast selection of shoes, dresses, purses, boots, bags and handbags allows women to make a statement and showcase their inner beauty.
Our Story
The Antonio Melani® brand was founded in 1987 with a mission to provide high-quality, fashion-forward clothing and accessories designed for the modern woman. Our company founder, Antonio Melani, was born in Italy and brought his European sensibility and Italian flair to the American fashion market.
Antonio had a vision to create a collection of affordable luxury ready-to-wear that allowed women to look and feel their best. He believed that personalized style and attention to detail were the building blocks of timeless fashion. Under his leadership, Antonio Melani® was launched with a focus on craftsmanship, quality fabrics and silhouettes that flatter a woman’s figure.
In 1991, Antonio Melani® was acquired by Dillard’s department stores to be their flagship women’s brand. Through this partnership, we’ve been able to share our passion for empowering women worldwide. For three decades, Antonio Melani® has maintained its founder’s initial vision: delivering runway-inspired styles at an accessible price point. We take pride in being the destination for head-to-toe looks that provide the perfect blend of polish and ease.
Our Design Philosophy
The Antonio Melani® design philosophy is centered around versatility, wearability and individual expression. Our designers find inspiration from Italian tailoring, Parisian flair and New York edge to develop collections that meet the demands of modern life.
We pride ourselves on staying ahead of the latest trends while still maintaining a timeless aesthetic. From boardroom meetings to dinner dates, our pieces transition effortlessly from day to night. Our brand offers chic, minimalist designs in a neutral color palette along with vibrant prints and textures for women looking to make a statement.
Every Antonio Melani® garment is thoughtfully constructed with smart details like shapewear integration, strategic stretch fabrics and flattering silhouettes. Our fit-focused approach ensures our customers look and feel confident in everything they wear. We also offer an extensive range of sizes, hemlines and coordinating separates for a customized look.

At Antonio Melani®, we are unwavering in our commitment to quality craftsmanship and ethical manufacturing practices. We carefully select the finest fabrics, trims and hardware available for every collection. Our design team oversees production across the globe to guarantee that the highest standards are met for all products carrying our label.
We use luxe materials like ultra-soft leathers, woven cottons, satins and linens that feel amazing and stand the test of time. Our quality assurance team rigorously tests every style before it arrives in our warehouses. From our Italian leather handbags to our signature dresses, customers can trust they are getting an expertly made product designed to last season after season.
As part of our ethical values, we partner with manufacturers that demonstrate fair labor practices and safe working conditions.
