Our name is more than a brand—it’s a tribute to legacy, creativity, and family. Jacqueline, our founder and creative director, has always believed in the power of meaningful design and personal connection. “Rae” honours her mother, whose middle name is Rae and who has been a lifelong creative visionary and inspiration.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
From a young age, Jacqueline learned the value of entrepreneurship and artistry from both her parents, who built their own business over 35 years. Her mother’s love for painting—especially watercolours and acrylics—continues to inspire us. Even in retirement, she’s poured her heart into her art, continually amazing everyone with her talent and passion.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Recently, our family has been navigating the difficult news of her mother’s cancer diagnosis. While we don’t often share personal stories here, the roots of Jacqueline Rae are deeply tied to family, resilience, and the creative spirit that her mother embodies. We’re holding onto hope and gratitude for the lessons, love, and inspiration she’s given us—and continues to give every day.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Thank you for being part of our community and for supporting the story behind our name. Every event, design, and detail is touched by this legacy, and we’re honoured to share it with you.
