We are proud to unveil the brand-new Melanie Lyne retail space at Mapleview Centre—a flagship location representing the brand’s first major store redesign in years. This transformative interior delivers a refreshed retail experience rooted in elevated material finishes, refined millwork craftsmanship, and a contemporary, fashion-forward aesthetic that reflects Melanie Lyne’s evolution.

The goal was to create a space that feels premium, approachable, and aligned with modern luxury fashion retail, while delivering a durable, adaptable, and high-performing environment for staff and customers alike.
