About

We’re Albaray – a sustainable womenswear brand created by an all-female trio with over 25 years experience in the fashion industry.

We design with purpose and believe that sustainable fashion doesn't have to compromise on quality – or cost the earth.

‘Alba’ – derives from the Spanish and Italian for dawn
‘ray’ – symbolises a ray of light or hope

These words connect to a sense of positivity and optimism which reflect the mood of the Brand.

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.
