About us

WHO WE ARE

Hey there! We are Mahlako and Thetlwane, the proud co-founders of Medu, a bold traditional fashion brand established in 2021. Our love for traditional clothes stems from our upbringing and was invigorated when we worked collaboratively on an Instagram micro-blog showcasing sepedi traditional outfits, weddings, and all things cultural.

We believe that all cultures should be equally represented and celebrated. That's why we started Medu - to bring beautiful, high-quality traditional attires to the world. Our vision is to create pieces that not only look amazing, but also resonate with people and are easily accessible.

 

OUR TEAM

We're so grateful to be supported by an amazing community of friends, family, and a team of talented young professionals and graduates from top fashion schools in South Africa. With their help, we've been able to bring our vision to life and create stunning, one-of-a-kind pieces that are perfect for any occasion.
