TAKE ME OUT EAST

In 2020, Rachel and Paige conceived the idea behind The Out East with a vision that a brand could exude elegance while embracing the authentic, raw essence of humanity. Their focus has consistently been on a customer base that doesn't need to fake their identity to fit a particular mold.

Both Rachel and Paige have dedicated a significant part of their lives to nurturing their love for the small beach towns that profoundly shaped their identities. The creation of The Out East was inspired by life experiences, the journey of growing up and the commitment to staying true to oneself. Whether you find yourself settled in a vacation spot or navigating the path of self-discovery, Rachel and Paige aspire for The Out East to be a constant companion in your adventurous life.

From their college bedrooms four doors apart, to now living on opposite ends of the East Coast, transitioning from college graduation to the corporate world, one element has remained unwavering—The Out East.

    Paige (23), originally from the suburbs of Philadelphia, found her calling in the world of sports, leading her to East Carolina University for Division 1 Lacrosse. In the moments between games and practices, she discovered her second love in Cape May, NJ, where the ocean and the tight-knit shore town community captured her heart.

    As Paige transitioned away from athletics, her curiosity for fashion and an entrepreneurial spark led her to merge with teammate, Rachel to create The Out East. Today, she navigates the intense landscape of Commercial Real Estate in the heart of New York City.

    For Paige, family, friends and the relentless pursuit of fearlessness stand as her top priorities, shaping the core of her values.
