Rachel Faucett designs children clothes and runs Handmade Charlotte, a blog about design and vintage for children. She lives on a farm just outside of Atlanta with her husband and their five children.

Handmade Charlotte began with a few bolts of vintage fabric and a string of late nights making clothes for her daughters Isabella and Charlotte after everyone had gone to bed. Rachel had been selling antiques at the markets for several years with a strong focus on items for children and moving into clothing was a natural progression.
