Mel says, “Working with ellesse on this golf range has been an awesome experience. We had a lot of fun bringing the brand’s style and personality into each creation, while keeping the focus on performance. Can’t wait to wear my favourite pieces when I return to competition later this month.”

Simon Breckon, Brand Director, ellesse says, “After 20 years it’s fantastic to return to the sport to help open it up and attract much needed youth at a time when the game is enjoying a resurgence and reinvention. We bring style and flair, Mel brings her energy, attitude and stand out personality – so it’s a great natural fit for ellesse.”
