At ME+EM, we don’t believe that modern women should have to choose between quality and cost; between contemporary trends and clothes they can actually function and look great in. Each and every piece is designed to be incredibly flattering, refreshingly functional and to last forever. Put simply, this is ‘Intelligent style, now and forever’.

We design everything in-house and go straight to luxury manufacturers ourselves. No third parties mean no unnecessary mark-ups. It’s the simple reason why we can offer luxury quality for an accessible price. We are proud to say that ME+EM was the very first luxury brand in the UK to disrupt the market in this way, paving the way for a new vision of womenswear. 

At ME+EM we are an entrepreneurial, creative, and passionate group of people. We work hard, are enthusiastic to learn and are not afraid to take risks. Everyone contributes to our success at all levels, and that precisely what makes being a member of the team so rewarding. 

Our office and stores are always busy and fast paced, but we work just as hard to make sure it’s fun, with social activities and biannual parties. We pride ourselves on being approachable, supportive, and welcoming and ensure that everyone’s hard work is rewarded. It takes all these things to build a strong, successful business and our door is always open to new talent ready to contribute to our growth and evolution.
