Meet The Team | Hi Peach Layne

SAY HI TO THE PEACH LAYNE TEAM 🙂

RACHAEL OBERSTE

Rachael’s career started as a mass market beauty buyer in the Health and Beauty and Cosmetics industries. Her passion for retail analysis and consumer behavior was the foundation that led to her success in growing retailer sales and profits of over a $1 billion product portfolio. After relocating back to her hometown of Little Rock, Arkansas, Rachael served as the Vice President of national sales, where she manipulated the brand’s market position with product development and innovation to bring retailers a broader product offering. This strategy was an overwhelming success. She orchestrated a remarkable transformation in this role that saw the company’s sales skyrocket. Rachael’s enthusiasm, passion for retail, and “customer first” perspective has now led to the beginnings of success in her newest venture, Hi Peach Layne.

SARAH REID MASSIMO

Meet Sarah, a trendsetter and creative force with over 15 years in the luxury and mass market retail space. Co-founder of Frieda&Nellie, a NYC-based jewelry sensation, Sarah and her partner made it a global hit, landing on the shelves of thousands of chic boutiques and retailers around the world.

After that success, Sarah started a new venture when she started a design consulting firm for mass-market brands looking for expertise in white space identification, product development, design, and sales strategy. Fate brought Sarah and Rachael together, and their collaboration made magic, bringing the market a fresh wave of innovation and strategy.

Sarah’s broad industry experience spans brand creation, design, and sales—from upscale spots like Bergdorf Goodman and online platforms like ShopBop to major retail players such as Target, Walgreens, TJ Maxx, 5Below, and Walmart. Her designs aren’t just impactful; they’re a testament to her knack for connecting with all audiences. And the big news: Hi Peach Layne, the latest venture from Sarah and her bestie Rachael, is hitting the shelves at Walmart nationwide in March, after a very successful Holiday in Walmarts nationwide. It’s not just a brand; it’s a nod to contemporary style that effortlessly blends fun, luxury, and accessibility for every shopper.
