Explore the range of timeless quality goods from The White Company in Christopher Place…
Luxurious, classic and fresh will never not be of the moment, will it?
When you think of The White Company you probably think of crisp cotton bedding and nightwear, stylish yet classic clothing, gorgeous scented candles and bath stuff, fabulous children and babywear and toys. Brilliant for gifts such as a cashmere throw, the perfect sized leather make-up bag or Herman Hermit Crab – who wouldn’t want one of those?
A brand known for its reliably high quality which stands the test of time, The White Company in Christopher Place has been popular with St Albans shoppers for almost 20 years.
Manager of the St Albans store Gerry Woods has worked there for the last four years, after joining The White Company 15 years ago as a Christmas temp in Marylebone High Street.
He said he loves the bustle of St Albans Charter Market and the wide range of restaurants, cafés, shops, and bars: “It’s a lovely place to work. Christopher Place offers a quiet, relaxed shopping experience away from the hubbub of the high street.”
Gerry said that the best part of his job is and has always been meeting customers daily. He said he enjoys reviewing the store, seeing new collections and working for a brand that continues to grow.
The amount of newness which arrives can even present a challenge as there are always too many great products, he joked.
At the heart of everything they do, is Gerry’s “amazing team”: “I am so lucky to work with a wonderfully supportive group of women. They are all very different individuals and together they bring a wide range of knowledge and experience to the store.
“Everybody is so committed to giving the best possible service they can.”
We asked what makes The White Company the best place to go shopping for a gift for a friend or family member.
He said: “The shop is a like a mini department store with beautifully crafted products across a wide range including fragrance, bath and body, daywear, homewares, nightwear, bedroom and, of course, The Little White Company for babies and children.
“Added to that we offer our complimentary gift wrap, so every item comes in a beautiful bag, ready to give to that friend or loved one.”
So what is Gerry’s favourite item?
He said there is so much to choose from, but his current favourite is their new Sicilian orange candle: “It’s the mix of orange, ginger, and sandalwood. It is just gorgeous, and the scent takes me away on holiday, sitting by the pool at an Italian villa looking at the orange groves.”
