Why Madia & Matilda have an epic Sale

We are Sustainable British Fashion.

Made and created in the Cotswolds Gloucestershire, in Great Britain. At the end of each season (2 per year - being that we only design in a slow fashion manner) and for special events, Madia & Matilda has a sale. It is important to us, as an ethical fashion business, to find ways to encourage more conscious way of shopping, and supporting the work and livelihood of our producers. The Madia & Matilda sale is much more than a chance to clear out the rails, but also away of  Helping to reduce waste; plus you can always grab a great bargain, even if we do say so our selves.

Sheer is back and were all over it!

Nothing says wedding season, than a delicate lace or sheer dress, classic refined style that is timeless and needs no introduction.  

The longer the better, (like our Akeyla dress) just because it's spring does not mean we need show too much skin; even though we are losing the coat and opting for a lighter fabric.

 Paired with a necklace (Lily flo jewellery) or heels, you'll make a statement that set you apart form the crowd, with out upstaging the bride; like our Muse Bella Hadid.

Cardiff Style Steal

It is a well-known fact that Welsh girls are renowned for their unique style and beauty and with our upcoming showcase in the lovely city of Cardiff, we thought it fun to do a feature on some of our Welsh Madia & Matilda babes!

Instagram: @emilynin_

Our wonderful friend Emily is today's feature. Born and raised in Chepstow, she lived a comfortable 40 minutes from the capital. We asked Emily to pick out her favourite Madia & Matilda outfits and where in Wales she would where them. Why not check it out below for some inspiration?

Anya Long Sleeved Jersey

"The Anya Long Sleeved Jersey Top is completely up my street. Its simplistic style and neutral colouring are exactly what I’ve been after! I would complement this top with a pair of mid-wash, high-waisted denim jeans. I would then finish the outfit with some chunky black heels for cocktail nights with the girls in Cardiff! Alternatively, I would slip on some ballet pumps for a smart, yet casual lunch in Cardiff Bay. This top can easily be dressed up or down, depending on the occasion…one of the many reasons why I love it!"

Look stunning in Madia & Matilda for a lunch at Cardiff Bay like Emily.

"The pastel-toned Jen Crepe T-Shirt would be ideal for me to wear to Ogmore Beach in the summer, accompanied by my favourite Ray-Bans, a floppy sunhat and a pair of denim shorts. The mild yellow colouring would match my skintone perfectly and I absolutely love the flattering fit of this top too!"

Jen Crepe T-shirt

"The Phoebe Contrast Panel Skirt is the perfect peachy-pink colour for spring. I can definitely see myself wearing this on a warmer day for a walk around the countryside picking Daffodils, paired with a light-coloured blouse/cropped top and some flats. The material of this skirt looks really light and airy too, perfect for keeping me cool as the temperatures rise!"

Rainy Day Outfit Inspo

There are times in the year when the sun ceases to exist and clouds rally their forces and join sides to release a downpour of rain on our shores. Don’t let the lack of sunshine and warm rays this season ruin your vibe though – we have taken the liberty of concocting some of the sweetest styles for rainy weather this year so you can still rock your look on Umbrella Days.

First up is our Anya Long Sleeve Jersey top with tights and boots wrapped up underneath the Eloise Dungaree Dress. The look is simple but the layering adds elegance to the style and is sure to keep you wrapped up cosy and warm all day under your winter coat.

With Britain being renown for rainy days - 2 staple layering items that are perfect for mood-swing days are the; Maaike T-shirt with Alicia Mini Skirt and tights - great transitional piece into the spring weather.

The third outfit to bring a little sunshine to your style this month is the new Sura Frill Top with our always-in-style Jean Slim Cut Trousers and layered with a jumper and a calf-length coat on top.

Why not add some of our curated brand LilyFlo’s jewellery for a little extra glam?

Vega Bracelet

For those of you craving something a tad more daring – the Shan Long Sleeve Blouse and our Simone Chequered Print Wrap Skirt is super elegant and can be worn with brogues or boots and a coat to really add to the look.

Are you one to let the weather ruin your outfit? Want to channel your inner Nicole Richie? like our Instagram earlier this month, the Ruth Strap Dress is the perfect dress for a glam night out this weekend. Add a pair of heels, your favourite clutch and a red lippy that would make even T-Swift jealous and you might give Nicole Richie herself a run for her money.

Don’t forget to take a sheer umbrella with you and not even your brolly can hide your style!
