The Medusa Mission
we create wedding dresses to help brides embrace their authentic, individual, best selves.
Medusa London celebrates individuality and authenticity. We are on a mission to support brides who want to embrace their unique style and personality on their wedding day. Every bride deserves to feel perfectly unique on their wedding day and we make this is possible by mixing individuality, coolness, and elegance in a seamless way, adding a touch of minimalism to bring style supremacy to any wedding dress.
Medusa London aim to challenge traditional wedding norms and create a new vision of the modern bride, while still preserving the sentimental side of classic bridal wear.
We believe that juxtaposition is human, and that weddings are one of the most human experiences we can have in our lifetime. That’s why we encourage Medusa London brides to be confident in their wedding dress choices.
Don’t hold back, let your individuality shine.

OUR PROMISE
Sustainable, artisanal & ethical wedding dresses
Handmade in London
Medusa is a brand with a difference. At the heart of our brand lies sustainability and a deep commitment to doing right by our planet and its people. Every piece we create is handmade in London with love, using only the finest sustainable luxury materials.Our pieces are made to order, which helps to minimize our environmental impact, and ensures that the people who make our garments are treated with care and respect.
Our luxurious pieces are made from 100% GOTS certified organic peace silk, which is not only cruelty-free but biodegradable as well. The silk making process is kind to both the environment and the animals involved, as the silk worms are allowed to complete their life cycle before their cocoons are used to weave the fabric.
Our silk is made by a cooperative of skilled and fairly paid artisans, who use only natural and non-toxic materials in their craft. These artisans work as a rural cooperation, which allows the silk farmers, spinners, weavers to work directly from their own areas. All these different units are well connected with centralised headquarters. This way they can have a comfortable lifestyle without having to move to bigger areas and their children can attend local schools.The women in the group are empowered to achieve social and economic self-sufficiency through their work.
We also use other materials that combine technology and sustainability such as our zippers made from recycled post-consumer plastic bottles: 1 bottle = 3 zippers. (See our FAQs for more info. )
At Medusa, we believe that fashion and sustainability can coexist. Our commitment to using sustainable materials and practices is unwavering, and we are always looking for new and innovative ways to minimize our impact on the environment. We care about our products, and we care about the people who make them. After all, there’s no fashion to be made without a healthy planet to live on.
We hope that you’ll fall in love with our brand and our commitment to sustainability, and join us on this journey towards a better future.
Meet the Designer
Agnese Petraglia
( aa-n-y-EH-s-eh) designer and founder of Medusa London.
As my name probably gave away already, I am Italian, born and raised in a small village off the Amalfi coast but I moved to London in 2014 at the age of 18.
Having always had a passion for ‘making things’, I tried a few crafts, until I realised that I really wanted to make clothes.
I got my first sewing machine at 15, and started altering old clothes and creating my first exclusive designs.
