FAYE BROWNE

While working as a buyer for one of Australia’s most successful retail fashion chains, Faye met her husband John. After several years of working together, Faye and John decided to follow their passion and start their own fashion brand. The rest is history!


Her love of mentoring staff both professionally and personally means that the Motto family really is one of a kind. Empowering women to chase their dreams extends to both employees and customers, with a big vision for fostering confident females. When she’s not at work, Faye loves to socialise. She holds meditation groups from her home once a week and immerses herself in learning new and exciting things. As an artist, Faye both paints and is an avid art exhibition attendee.


Faye’s personal style: Edgy, new trends and unexpected elements.

LAUREN FRENCH

Lauren previously worked for a high end fashion agency, where she was able to travel the globe hunting out the newest trends, before joining the family business in 2007. She quickly developed and implemented a digital strategy and launched the Motto Online store at a time when ‘shopping online’ was not yet a household phrase. Lauren was a finalist in the highly regarded Ausmumpreneur Awards which recognized her achievments and success in e-commerce growth during and post the COVID pandemic.


Together, Lauren and Faye head the entire design division. Lauren also oversees all e-commerce and marketing related strategies. When she's not at work, Lauren loves spending time at home with her young family and always has a million DIY and renovation tasks that keep her busy.


Lauren's personal style: feminine with a contrast of dressy pieces paired with casual wardrobe staples.
