Martina London, Back to the Beginning

Our Story

Barbara spent twenty years inside the world's finest ateliers, from Milan to London, alongside Armani, McQueen and Ferré, learning what quality really means. She also spent twenty years quietly frustrated that beautiful clothes never had anywhere to put her hands. Martina London is her answer: considered pieces, made properly, and finally with pockets.

Our Founder

Barbara

Barbara's career spans more than two decades across the world's finest fashion houses — from Armani and Gianfranco Ferré to Alexander McQueen. Her eye for quality, cut, and enduring style has shaped Martina London from its very first collection.

Notting Hill has been her home for 28 years. It's where she raised her family, founded Martina London, and built a community that keeps coming back.

Craftsmanship

A piece is only as good as the hands that made it. Martina London is made the way it has always been made, with Italian silk, with embroidery worked by craftsmen who have spent a lifetime at it, in ateliers where the standard is the standard. No shortcuts. No seasonal pivots. Just clothes built to be worn, and worn again.
