RESA was born from a desire to create clothing that feels as good as it looks, effortless, confident, and made to move with you. Founded by Suzanne Marchese in 2015 in Venice Beach, California, RESA was built on the idea that fashion should be accessible, empowering, and thoughtfully designed for real women living real lives.
Inspired by vintage finds and the free-spirited energy of the ’70s, RESA blends elevated city style with the relaxed ease of Southern California. Today, a dedicated team brings that vision to life, creating collections that celebrate individuality, flatter everybody, and flow with the rhythm of modern life. RESA is made for women who want to feel seen, confident, and effortlessly themselves.
Designed By Women
The RESA Way
RESA is designed by women, for women. We create thoughtful, effortless, and stylish clothing for women who value confidence, comfort, and individuality. Our timeless pieces move with real life, empowering women to look and feel their best every day.
RESA envisions a future where effortless style meets conscious design at scale. We aspire to become a leading force in modern fashion by redefining how women connect with their wardrobes through collections that honor craftsmanship and move seamlessly with life. As we grow, our commitment remains clear: to expand responsibly, empower women globally, and cultivate a lasting impact rooted in authenticity and inclusivity.
Made in Los Angeles
Our Values & Vision
Our production team in Downtown Los Angeles is at the core of RESA, and we take pride in the foundation we’ve built. For a small brand, producing locally is no small cost, but it’s a choice we stand by. Every day, we work to support our local workers, keep pricing fair for our customers, and remain committed to sustainability. Even with our weekly drops, we produce in limited quantities, reducing our carbon footprint and creating unique, waste-free pieces with a lower environmental impact.
While most of our garments are made in Los Angeles, we are expanding production to China for swim and India for special collections using low-impact fabrics like cotton, linen, and viscose. This approach allows us to grow the brand while working with fabrics chosen for quality, comfort, and sustainability, all while keeping pieces accessible at RESA price points. Both production houses follow strict ethical standards, and we maintain close oversight of their operations.
RESA is always evolving, moving forward with local workers, customers, sustainability, and the planet at the heart of every decision.
