It's not only beautiful but also feels like a piece of luxury, with the natural materials offering unparalleled comfort and elegance.In summary, my visit to the Melange Shop was nothing short of amazing. It's a place where each customer is treated with utmost care, and every dress tells a story of beauty and elegance.

I had an amazing experience at Melange! A total hidden gem! The exquisite clothing blends style, uniqueness and quality. From chic to elegant attire, Melange offers a curated selection that caters to diverse tastes. The best part is that you can get made to measure pieces at affordable prices. I thought that was only possible at steep prices but Melange makes it possible. If you're seeking fashion-forward pieces that no one else has in their closet, Melange is the destination. An absolute gem at Stanford Mall!

Absolutely love this beautiful gem @ Stanford Shopping center, and Chandan the charming owner-designer. Refreshingly unique, well cut, & infinitely wearable designs. Embroidery’s stunning. Love my silk dresses and looking forward to my next visit.

Melange is a wonderful one-of-a-kind shop with both of the rack and custom clothing. The designs and colors are amazing and very flattering. If you are looking for a special outfit, or just for something that you can wear regularly that makes you feel special, this is the place to go!

In a panic to find a dress for my son's wedding, I was recommended to Melange, a wonderful store run by Chandan designs all the clothes herself and they are of a very high quality, as you would expect from somebody who learned her craft at Central Saint Martins, the world-renowned arts and design college in London.

You can buy off the rack from an ever-changing range of seasonal designs; or she will custom design a unique creation to your exact specifications, with beautiful hand crafting that will fit you perfectly--truly, it's beautiful.

Whether you're looking for casual elegance or that special occasion dress with wow factor, I think you'll be happy with Melange! I'm so glad I found the store!

BTW: As of Oct '23, the powers that be at Stanford Shopping Center have moved Melange to a new location, so your map location may be out of date. The easiest way to find them is is to park close to Backcountry, walk directly through the store and out the back door. You'll now be in a short ally, and just on the right you'll see Melange.

MÉLANGE has been a truly incredible experience! I’ve found I don’t fit a majority of department store clothes nor do they fit my taste. Chandan has a wonderful eye for style and fit. I’ve gotten 3 dresses from here and when wearing them out I felt perfectly comfortable the entire night. If I could give MÉLANGE a higher rating I would, Chandan has given me a perfectly custom experience.

The owner, Chandan was incredibly thoughtful and helpful - she was involved throughout the process and helped me choose the best style and fit. The blouse itself is stunning. Hand-embroidered details add the perfect touch to complete this delicate springtime look.
