Now introducing Mia Melon: Fashionable weatherproof coats that are water and wind proof using fashion fabrics. The next generation in women’s fashion coats is here!
Mia Melon is a women’s clothing label based in Vancouver, BC. In the Fall of 2011, we launched our weatherproof coats, and the demand for them has been growing 300% each season. Now is the time to listen to our customer and focus on what we do best!
We have wholesale orders from some of the most influential boutiques across North America…however we need financial resources to go into production and to start developing next season’s collection. Your pledge will ensure that Mia Melon’s vision will become a reality. Pledges over and above the requested amount will go towards hiring more staff, and allowing our designer more resources to grow our dream. If all goes well, next season we will be able to expand our offerings and launch a mens fashion weatherproof coat collection.
Our Product:
What is a fashion weatherproof jacket?
We specialize in waterproof, wind proof and breathable coats which are highly functional, yet fashion forward. We pay close attention to the details in design and the quality fabrics used in each piece.
How do we make the fabric waterproof?
After sourcing fashionably appealing exterior shell fabrics, we use a cozy micro fleece on the interior shell of the coat. Bonded in between the two fabric layers is a poly membrane that functions similar to your skin. The membrane is both waterproof and wind proof.
How do we get water to bead off of cotton fabric?
We use a heat process treatment known as DWR, which is sprayed onto the fabric and then baked under a massive oven. Although it helps with water resistance, this process is not wind proof. That function comes from the special membrane that we use.
How do we keep the water from penetrating the seams? When the coats are sewn together, we bind the seams inside, so that the water stays out, and you stay dry. You will stay dry 99.9% of the time.
Lab tests done in Hong Kong and through the US Customs and Border Patrol have certified that our fabrics have waterproof and windproof capabilities. No more worrying about the elements…we’ve got you covered.
We all know that functionality matters when it comes to weatherproof outerwear…but looking great never hurts! The designers have all come from design specific backgrounds, rather than sports-centric. Lots of time, effort and research goes into the theme and mood of each season. We want you to choose Mia Melon coats because they look good, not just because they work so well in any all types of weather.
Thank you so much for your support! Feel safe in the elements again.
