From popular food and beverage companies to emerging fashion brands, we help make premium products you can be proud of.
Mello helps Roots Natural Kitchen with end-to-end design and merchandising on an ongoing basis. From event merch and retail drops to staff uniforms and custom programs, we help Roots bring cohesive, elevated product experiences to life.
We design retail merchandise that feels more like a fashion drop than hotel swag. For Ruby Hotel, that meant creating trendy, retro-inspired pieces from scratch – built to stand out, get worn, and live well beyond the stay.
What started as merch turned into a full brand transformation. After designing and producing their merchandise, we partnered with Lake Roots on a complete rebrand – including visual identity, signage, and a full merchandise line -built to scale everywhere their brand lives.
For emerging CPG brands ready to look the part, we build premium merch collections that feel intentional – not promotional. Gardencup partnered with us to design a full lineup of trendy, high-quality pieces that extend their brand beyond the shelf.
