Paris Kemp is the creator and owner of Medusa Vintage. Paris has a deep seeded passion for sustainability which drives both her business practices and daily life.
As an avid thrifter who boasts a near entirely secondhand wardrobe, Paris lives and breathes all things vintage.
In her spare time, you can find Paris rummaging through opshops and growing square eyes as she fixates on the news and world politics.
Grandpa can’t quite understand the intensity of kids nowadays, but hey, there are worse things to be doing right?
If a garment is more than 20 years old, Paris sells it.
Medusa Vintage is a brand with many faces as Paris curates different selections based on the crowd.
Whether you’re into the scantily clad looks of the 2000s or the stunning florals of 70s bohemia, Paris has you covered.
Paris began Medusa Vintage in 2019, as a year 12 student, after completing a research project on the negative impacts of the fast fashion industry on the environment.
As a righteous teenager who threw herself into every facet of activism she could, starting a business while studying and working multiple jobs felt like a sane thing to do!
From selling on instagram to stocking in stores across the country, Medusa Vintage has continued to grow and evolve alongside its creator.
Paris’ aim is to convert every shopper into a sustainable one. Medusa Vintage was created to divert shoppers away from harmful consumption practices and promote shopping mindfully.
“I tell customers that I don’t want them to shop from me unless they know that they will love the garment for years to come. Participating in trends and overconsumption should not be a priority over our planet’s health.”
Paris aims to cater to a as wide a market as possible. Medusa Vintage is a brand for people who put their money where their mouth is and genuinely care about their impact.
