Meet Our Family
Building a brand doesn't happen without the incredible love and support of so many people outside of just our employees. Our family consists of our business partners, models or faces of our brand, customers, freelancers, and many more incredible humans. We want to introduce you to a few of our family members below.
Olivia Carr - Founder & Chief Giving Officer, Shhh Silk
What started as a simple idea in 2015 after losing her beloved silk pillowcase whilst holidaying in New York has now become a global sleep, wellness and beauty brand synonymous with doing good and giving back.
We asked Olivia why doing good was in her DNA, and this is what she shared:
"Falling pregnant at the age of 19 reshaped my young adult life. I faced years of personal struggle; I lost any sense of financial independence and stability. For me, instead, what lay ahead was over a decade of financial hardship, a fight for an opportunity in the workforce, followed by a personal battle with anxiety.
Having experienced real financial hardship so early in my life, I now use those past experiences to show compassion, empathy, and give back to others and pay it forward, as so many others did when I needed it most."
Shhh Silk exists to improve people's lives through the power of sleep and self-care and to impact the lives of people who need our support. We give back with every order.

Rachel shared with us what she would tell her younger self. "I would tell my younger self to embrace who you truly are, what makes you different is what makes you special. And when you let your own light shine you give permission for other people to be themselves too".
A cause that is important to Rachel is women supporting other women. "When we lift each other up, we all rise''. We couldn't agree with you more Rachel.
