About Melancholy

My name is Karl & I started Melancholy as a whim. I've always been obsessed with fashion. I didn't know what it was, but it was something about being unique & standing out from the rest of the crowd. Call it narcissism but when someone compliments a rare staple you're rocking, it gives a confidence boost. 

Thinking that launching a clothing brand was going to be an easy task, I left it on hiatus for sometime but I wanted to challenge myself & decided to continue ahead. 

Why the name "Melancholy" ? 

  • Google's definition: "a feeling of pensive sadness, typically with no obvious cause".
  • Pronounced : meh·luhng·ko·lee

 I named the brand Melancholy because I was always feeling this way. I didn't know why or what made me feel this way but it was always something out of the blue. Plus, it sounds fancy & mysterious when you try to pronounce it, making it even sound boujee.
