The Spring edition of raye the store has arrived in West London, bringing its signature curation of emerging wellness, beauty, and lifestyle brands to the trendy side of the city in Notting Hill. Running until 25th May, the Spring pop-up features over 90 exciting names and more than 250 products for visitors to discover.
This season’s edition is dedicated to all things beauty and wellness, offering a fresh focus on skincare, bodycare, haircare and beyond, with brands handpicked by founder Nicole Compen herself for their quality, uniqueness, and ethical backbones. In-store events will be taking place throughout the duration of the pop-up, inviting shoppers to meet the makers, experience product demos, and take part in wellness sessions designed to deepen brand discovery.
Founded in 2021, raye the store has delivered a fresh take on physical retail with a purpose-led, community-driven approach. Each edition offers a unique chance to shop emerging brands in a setting that’s as much about experience as it is about product.
Here are 5 top brands showcasing at this edition to look out:
No stranger to the UK market, Jurlique has been a pioneer in holistic beauty for over 35 years, crafting high-performing natural skincare using botanicals grown on their own biodynamic farm in Australia’s pristine Adelaide Hills. Grounded in a deep respect for nature and sustainability, the brand champions slow beauty and mindful rituals that nurture both skin and soul, and have earned a substantial cult following as a result.
Product spotlight: Herbal Recovery Bi-phase Serum (RRP £68), a glow-boosting bi-phase serum that blends oil and water to smooth the skin and restore its natural radiance.
Nuances Glacées approaches ice cream as a culinary art form, handmaking each batch in small quantities using carefully sourced ingredients. The menu reads more like a fine dining list than a dessert bar, with unexpectedly harmonious pairings like caramel with red miso, honey with rosemary and pecans, or raspberry with yuzu. Inspired by founder Mahaut’s childhood memories of Parisian ice cream parlours, every scoop is crafted to deliver depth, precision and a moment of quiet indulgence. A definite must-try.
Product spotlight: Honey Rosemary & Pecan (RRP £12 per 500ml), blend of honey and rosemary infused cream, with a satisfying crushed pecan crunch.
Hop & Roll is London’s only dedicated hopper vendor, serving up the beloved Sri Lankan street food with no shortcuts on flavour or fire. Hoppers are cooked live in front of guests, adding theatre to a menu that stays fiercely loyal to its roots. Founded by Rosh in 2019, the brand now also offers award-winning spice blends and immersive meal kits based on treasured family recipes, bringing bold, authentic Sri Lankan cooking into home kitchens.
Product spotlight: Sri Lankan Roasted Curry Powder (RRP £6.50), special blend of 11 herbs & spices, roasted & ground by hand – and winner of 3 Star Great Taste Award 2024.
Matcha & Beyond goes beyond the global matcha trend, offering a nuanced take on Japan’s most prized tea. The brand carefully hand-selects and blends matcha to suit different palates and preferences, with flavour profiles ranging from pure and grassy to gently spiced. Founder Olivia Nottin, a nutritional therapist, brings a thoughtful approach to sourcing premium, single-origin matcha, making it accessible without compromising quality. Each pack reflects a commitment to sustainability, exceptional craftsmanship, and the joy of everyday matcha rituals.
Product spotlight: Matcha Chai London Edition (RRP £18 per 100g), 42% matcha blended with ginger, turmeric, cinnamon, and black pepper for a 9/10 flavour intensity, 0% bitterness, and a warm finish.
