Designed to Remember
OUR STORY
Mestiza New York creates timeless dresses and statement pieces designed to celebrate life’s most memorable moments.
Founded in 2015 in New York City by longtime friends Alessandra Perez-Rubio and Louisa Rechter, the brand was inspired by their shared Filipino heritage and the treasured vintage garments passed down by their grandmothers. Their heirloom pieces were beautiful, distinctive and made to last. This concept sparked the idea for a modern wardrobe filled with designs that make women feel confident, unforgettable, and ready for every moment.
DAY TO NIGHT STYLE
Mestiza New York is designed to accompany women throughout their day, and their lives.
From effortless daytime dresses to chic cocktail attire and unforgettable evening gowns, our pieces help women express their aesthetic from morning to night. Today the collection also includes bridal (everything but the aisle), swimwear and coverups, statement earrings, and handbags, allowing women to build a wardrobe that feels both beautiful and complete.
THE CONVERTIBLE COLLECTION™
Versatility is part of Mestiza New York’s design DNA.
Our signature Convertible Collection™ features pieces designed to transform: dresses with removable and reversible elements, earrings that shift from studs to statement drops, and belts that convert into necklaces. These thoughtful details allow one piece to create multiple looks, moving effortlessly from day to evening, travel to celebration.
Because the most loved pieces in your wardrobe should evolve with you.
