The store will also premiere the company's collection of high-end accessories including leather jackets, wallets, belts and bags for men as well as hosiery.  The Mezlan store is decidedly contemporary with cues to modern urban culture and a glow from the European fashion world.

As Mezlan set out to create a store concept that its customer would feel comfortable in, they also looked to subdivide the collections in a way that its customer would easily understand. The Mezlan collection now features two subdivisions within the footwear category: Mezlan 1968 and Mezlan Platinum.  The Mezlan 1968 collection, which is essentially Mezlan's 'signature' collection, will feature timeless, classic designs; ranging in price points from $225  to $395. The Platinum Collection, Mezlan's exotic, high-end collection, will offer limited-edition, fashion forward styles; with price points starting at $375 and going upwards to over $1,000. The Platinum Collection is known for customizing shoes based on the needs and wants of the wearer, making truly one-of-a-kind footwear.

Bacco Bucci, Mezlan's brother company offers sportier, contemporary, trend-driven styles. The secret to Bacco Bucci footwear is its anatomically correct insole, which allows for adjustments to the sizing of the shoes for a D to an EE width. By simply removing the top insole, you can change the width and cushion-level. Bacco Bucci offers a diverse selection designed to fit every need. Price points range from $100 - $295.

Making its debut at the store opening will be Mezlan's first accessory collection which includes belts, wallets, jackets and briefcases in a variety of fine leathers and exotic skins.  All of the accessories are custom designed and hand-stitched. The jackets are made in Spain and Italy and will be designed in numerous skins and leathers, including alligator, ostrich and python; all of the jackets are one-of-a-kind. The accessory collection will retail from $150 to upward of $10,000.  

Mezlan and Bacco Bucci hosiery will also be available rounding out the store's product mix. In addition, the company will launch a new line of Mezlan hosiery, high-end Japanese; kimono-quality silk designed in classic colors and will be offered in over-the-calf and mid-calf styles.

Mezlan's popularity derives from a spirited pursuit of quality, offering fresh, artistic styling in both its' classic and 'edgy' footwear and accessories lines. Mezlan, a division of Pacific Shoe Corp., has a long-established heritage of producing superior, handcrafted and uniquely patterned quality footwear and accessories for over three generations.
