Welcome to the world of Medusa London, made for the understated, modern and conscious ones.
Designed in London and made from luxury sustainable materials such as 100% organic silk. Each piece is made to be comfortable and free from constraints, sleek and luxurious, for the cool brides with a minimalist approach to fashion.
Our work doesn’t stop at design, we wanted the collection to not only be beautiful but also comfortable, ethically made and sustainable. For this, each piece is made using fabric manipulation as a unique decorative feature and also as a support element, since our dresses are unstructured for maximum comfort.
Sustainability is at our core, so each piece is handmade using a variety of sustainable luxury materials, such as 100% organic silk certified by the soil association for being processed in accordance with GOTS (global organic textile standard) and recycled materials such as our zips made of post-consumer recycled plastic bottles.
Also, we operate on a made-to-order basis to ensure that machinery and energy are only used when required and our seamstresses can take their time to create high quality products.
For our sizing, we worked with real bodies so that brides can feel confident in buying our pieces, knowing that our sizes will most likely reflect their everyday size. Our dresses, in fact, run bigger rather than smaller and are made to fit a variety of body types that fall under the same size.
We only ever work with sustainable materials and practices. Currently we are working with organic silk certified by the soil association for being processed in accordance with GOTS (global organic textile standard) and recycled zippers made from post-consumer plastic bottles (1 bottle = 3 zippers).
We are transitioning into using a 100% organic and peace silk certified by GOTS. All our offcuts of fabrics and materials are used to make accessories or for samples and the ones that cannot be used are donated to local art schools or fashion students.
In addition, we operate on made to order basis, so that machinery and energy are only used when needed. All our packaging is kept to a minimum and to what it’s really needed and anything we use is either recycled and recyclable or biodegradable.
“We had a wonderful day at our wedding and got so many nice comments about the dress. It was also quite a hot day and the material was so perfect for the hot weather! I expect I will be the first of very many to wear one of your dresses.” – Verity, Cambridge,) (the very first person who bought one of my dresses)
“I just wanted to let you know how happy I am for today. I had a fantastic experience at the studio I can’t wait to wear my gorgeous dress on my wedding day. It felt like it was made for me!” – Jess, London
