Raye the store’s 15th London pop-up heads to Kensington
Raye the store’s Spring Showcase
Wellness discovery platform raye the store is to host over 100 brands and 300 products at its 15th retail showcase, taking place at Kensington High Street, London, from 3-27 September.
“Celebrating our 15th showcase feels like a real milestone for raye the store,” says founder Nicole Compen. “What started as an idea to give emerging brands a platform to be discovered has grown into a destination where consumers, buyers, investors, and press come together to uncover what’s next.
“Innovation within food, drink, wellness and beauty has never been stronger, but getting discovered remains one of the biggest challenges for independent businesses. As we launch our biggest curation yet, I am proud to continue creating a physical space where challenger brands can connect with the people who matter most and build meaningful opportunities for long-term growth.”
The food and drink selection at the Autumn Showcase will focus on clean-label functional snacks, upcycled ingredients, alcohol-free alternatives and global pantry staples, with brands including BitesWeLove, Creatime, Delve Snacks, FATT, The Earthy, P4R, PROUX UK and RishRight.
“Getting discovered remains one of the biggest challenges for independent businesses.”
The drinks selection includes functional electrolyte drinks, sparkling matcha, upcycled tropical fruit waters, nootropic sodas and premium low-sugar alternatives.
The beauty and wellness edit will feature active botanical skincare, life-stage and midlife formulations, scalp care, transdermal nutrient patches, precision probiotics and performance nutrition.
The showcase will also expand its focus on home and pet care, with the home edit including eco-conscious fragrance and cleaning products, while the pet category will feature functional supplements and nutrition.
The 96 Kensington High Street location marks a move west for raye the store. The space has been redesigned with Studio Böreck and architectural designer Rawan Muqaddas, using stained plywood, terracotta tiling and freestanding display units.
