Mestiza New York, a women’s special occasion brand designed in New York City that offers this stylish opulence, without the opulent price tag.

"Mestiza" means a woman of mixed ancestry, as the brand embraces and celebrates the co-founder’s shared Filipino-American heritage. Alessandra and Louisa have created a label that leans into the glitz and glam of vintage wanderlust: late afternoon martinis lounging by the pool in resplendent sheaths, painting a clear picture of a tropical Philippine paradise. Vintage photographs of their mothers and grandmothers in the Philippines in the 1960s have been the recurrent source of inspiration that fuels every Mestiza collection.
