Meet the Owner
Shanay Shah is the Owner of Candy Stripe Commerce. As an avid shopper, Shanay is always on the lookout for new, innovative products or revamped versions of existing ones. He remains invested in value-oriented, high-quality goods (his current rec is the Necessaire body care line). He can often be found perusing estate sales or scouring the web for menswear made from lotus silk.
Drawing on his business acumen and analytical skills, Shanay aims to showcase a breadth of products while unlocking value for clients. His background in large-scale/bespoke event management, emerging technology, and hospitality generates unique insights and informs his product research. When Shanay is not at work, he enjoys cooking vegetarian meals for his family and friends.
