Austin Designs is an independent company owned by Rachel Austin Baumrin, designer and builder of handmade goods. Each piece is a unique, original work, featured on-Island throughout the year.
Rachel was educated in the fashion and costume design fields “as a young lady,” and she returned to the sewing machine to create beautiful handcrafted products, including 100 percent organic herbal eye pillows, heat packs, and pocket pods filled in her West Tisbury studio.
Austin Designs was established in 2001 with a focus on hand-stitched beadwork. In 2017, Rachel began distributing her organic herbal line off-Island; it can be found in more than 18 shops throughout New England and New York.
