albaray

Albaray was born during the pandemic in 2020, when founders Paula Stewart, Karen Peacock and Kirstie Di Stazio had the opportunity to press pause and reflect on their roles in the fashion industry.

One thing was constant; an unwavering desire to move forward with a more thoughtful, environmentally conscious approach to a fashion brand.

Reconnecting with women, who, like them, love clothes, but are questioning their impact.

After a year of enormous change, what began as a passionate Zoom conversation between friends, is now a considered curation of uplifting styles with an uncompromising attention to detail.

A collection of versatile styles to stand the test of time. Designed for everyday – from wear-anywhere dresses to feel-good loungewear - all made with sustainability in mind.

mamaroo

Meet Martina, the face behind the local brand mamaroo. The inspiration for mamaroo came from the struggle of finding clothes that she liked for her two boys. Every time she went shopping, she saw the same generic patterns (dinosaurs, trucks, checkered prints etc.). As a busy working mum, she felt it made sense to have a clothing brand available for minimalist shoppers.

At mamaroo, they try to combat the idea of shopping for ‘pink or blue’ and allow you to simply ‘shop’ for your child, regardless of their gender.

messiah and eve

Sarah Sklavenitis started this journey to answer a question: ‘How could I deliver that feeling of finding a product you love because it works, makes you feel special, looks sophisticated and smells beautifully unique; how could I make “incredible and effective”, affordable?

She set out to channel all the most desirable aspects of beauty, skincare and fragrance into body care that has real purpose, integrity and difference. Offering products that speak to people who share a similar mindset of wanting it all. Body care that you will use over and over because it ticks all your aspirational boxes, makes you feel good and offers you healthier skin and daily comfort.

She says: "Together, let’s elevate expectations of what body care can be."

radley London

Lowell Harder ( Founder of Radley ) a trained Australian architect, and mother to 3 young boys decided she needed a different direction in her life. At 33, Lowell no longer felt inspired by bricks and mortar, so she turned her hand to designing bags.

Her cousin had just returned from a trip to India with some vegetable tan leather bags and Lowell was immediately impressed by the unique designs.

Intrigued, Lowell contacted the manufacturer in India and arranged to have her own bags made and imported to London to trade at Camden Market under the name “Hidesign”.

Standing just two days per week in London Camden Market was time enough for news of the bags to spread. Fast forward a few decades, Radley London has grown into a global brand with over 20 stores and shipping to over 40 countries.

stories parfums

Tonya Kidd-Beggs, Founder and CEO of STORIES Parfums, Northern Ireland’s very first luxury, niche perfume house.

She says, "My fragrance house was born as a testament of the power of fragrance and to the stories which have shaped my own life. Fragrance has always been a way for me to connect with who I am and what matters to me and by sharing my fragrances I hope to give people the space to stop and connect with either their past, their present or even dream for their future. The actual inspiration for each fragrance comes by working on how I feel on the day. I do not have an idea or a strategy where my perfumes are concerned. Everything comes to life as I work, much like an artist who paints a painting. It is an expression, an art, what I like to call the art of perfumery."

STORIES Parfums launched in late 2018.  As I reached my mid-forties and my children got older, I went on pursuit of a hobby which led me to Grasse in the South of France. My desire was to learn the basics of perfumery and create my own bespoke perfume.

TONED TOTTY

Toned Totty is a local brand from Jersey founded by fitness professionals Lyndsey Stirling-Stewart and her husband.

"We first came up with the idea in 2002, with the intention of one day creating a new sportswear brand for ladies. It all stemmed from our clients (when I was a fitness instructor) mentioning the lack of nice sports and fitness wear in the shops. Therefore, we developed the brand to meet the demanding consumer who seeks style and comfort with attitude. For ladies who love to work out in the gym, go running, pilates, or whatever they enjoy doing; so we thought we would bite the bullet and go for it; nothing ventured, nothing gained! We wanted to offer women something more exciting, vibrant, and colourful, with the best quality, different from anything you can find on the high street! So, here we are today, a few years down the line! We are always sourcing more suppliers and trying out new ideas, but the quality is the most important thing for us. We've received samples from various countries worldwide and seen huge variations in the quality of fabrics, finding that you get what you pay for! We use the finest INVISTA’s SUPPLEX® and LYCRA® SPORT fabrics and all of our garments have to pass a certain criteria for quality and authenticity to use their hang tags. We don’t bulk produce, we produce smaller quantities per style and colour, maintaining exclusivity. Our customers love that they have something more unique."
