Woman business owner profile: Beth Doane- Andira International

Beth Doane has been an entrepreneur since the young age of only 22 years old. She created Andira International and imported exclusive European apparel and accessories brands across the U.S. market. Andria International is now a full service consulting firm helping her clients launch their own brands. But Beth's focus is not just on running her successful business, she also wants to make a difference in the world. After witnessing the human rights violations and environmental pollution so prevalent in the fashion industry she created her own fair trade line, RainTees, in 2008. She also speaks at a variety of international conferences about human rights and issues relating to helping the environment.


Throughout her journey as a fashion designer and humanitarian, Beth has worked with some of the world's largest corporations. She is an excellent role model as a female entrepreneur. When she speaks at conferences around the world, she hopes to inspire other individuals with her story. The topics she highlights include her journey from being a fashion designer, creating a social business and her work as a humanitarian. 


Her company, Andira International, has worked with start-ups as well as major corporations who would like to make their line more sustainable. Beth and her team work with each company to help them manage, design, manufacture, create events and come up with fresh ideas. The types of lines they work with include anything from clothing to skin-care to eye-wear and more. 


Her own fashion line, RainTees, launched at the highest attended show at Mercedes Benz Fashion Week in 2008 and became an internationally selling brand in its first year.  Every RainTee is made by donating school supplies to children living in critically endangered areas around the world and every RainTee plants a tree. To date, RainTees has helped plant thousands of trees around the world and has helped children in over 30 countries.
