The Women of the Future Podcast: Rachel & Laura Beattie

Rachel and Laura Beattie grew up in the suburbs of Manchester.

Keen to marry-up her two loves of Maths and Art, and closely influenced by their seamstress Nana Theresa, Rachel came up with the idea for Careaux when she was just 14-years-old, jotting down the idea in her beloved Harry Potter notebook.

Having always loved clothes, Rachel could clearly remember moments in her life by what she and others were wearing, how special the clothes made her feel and how each outfit was carefully constructed to tell a story.

Created as luxury, ethical fashion, Careaux garments contain a hidden zip to enable the wearer to mix and match their clothes for different style and size combinations.

Developing their brand to be all about equality and diversity, the pair want Careaux clothes to be representative of this.

As well as being Young Ambassadors for the Prince's Trust and shortlisted in the Entrepreneur Category at the Women of the Future Awards in 2019, Laura and Rachel have also recently launched their ‘Closer Through Kindness’ Campaign, intending to bring people closer together during the Coronavirus pandemic.
