MEET MELANIE
“To me, Ava Rose Marketplace is more than an online shop - it is where fashionable women who love to shop and are delighted by a great deal come to explore the latest trends in apparel, gifts, homeware and accessories.”
Melanie Santarius is the founder and owner of Ava Rose Designs and Ava Rose Marketplace. Always passionate about art and fashion, Melanie left a career in broadcast journalism in 2008 to design women’s apparel and launch her private label, Ava Rose Designs.
As a young mother herself, Melanie understood that her friends and peers were looking for a curated collection of affordable, everyday casual clothing with sophistication and some edginess. Over the next 10 years, Melanie grew her private label offering while building a community of chic women in Scottsdale who turned to her for advice on what’s next in fashion.
In 2020, Melanie launched Ava Rose Marketplace, an online-only boutique that carries a broad range of hand-selected apparel, gifts and accessories. Ava Rose Marketplace allows women an opportunity to buy on-trend, luxury brands from a local, independent retailer.
With a focus on material quality, Melanie curates a marketplace of products from best-loved brands like Splendid, Lauren Moshi, Capri Blue Candles, and Sundry, and up-and-coming designers. She also introduced Marketplace Insiders in 2020, a loyalty program that rewards those who love to shop, and do it often, with a first look at new products, annual discounts and free shipping.
