Albaray

In 2021, three former Warehouse executives launched sustainability-orientated womenswear brand Albaray. CEO Paula Stewart, chief creative officer Karen Peacock and chief commercial officer Kirstie Di Stazio chose the brand’s name for its two meanings: “Alba” is Spanish and Italian for “dawn”, while “ray” symbolises light or hope. The premium womenswear brand is stocked by John Lewis, Marks & Spencer, Next and Fenwick, and has two physical stores in Bath and Chichester, West Sussex.
