Merismar Isabel-Baez is a first-generation Dominican textile designer whose handmade apparel combines bold, colorful palettes with soft pastels to create timeless and exciting statement pieces.
Merismar found herself bored and uninspired by the monotonous neutrals of black, white, and tan in contemporary fashion. She wanted to brighten her closet, celebrate individuality, and combat the effects of a dreary environment. Her fusion of vibrant and subtle colors, along with intricate stitch work, not only brings life to wardrobes but also deepens her connection to the rich nature and diversity of her Dominican culture.
Her brand celebrates the beauty of slow fashion and the joy of creating pieces that celebrate color. Each piece is crafted with love, care, and a deep connection to her roots, travels, and individuality.
Looking ahead, Merismar is committed to incorporating sustainable materials into her work, ensuring that her passion for textile design supports a healthier planet.
