After a 14-year wait, Melissa has finally realised her last Originals collection in 2024, inspired by one of her favourite activities—reading. This collection is designed to resemble the shape of books, particularly vintage ones, evoking a sense of nostalgia and meaningful personal touch. Each bag in this collection is crafted from pure canvas cotton woven to specific specifications for TULISAN. This material has been Melissa’s dream since she first embarked on her journey with TULISAN. The design is simple yet rich in storytelling. It reflects Melissa’s long-standing dedication to creating pieces of emotional value, connecting their owners with the tales woven into each narrative page.
