Sibling Tees @ Resa Design

We are discontinuing the black styles of our 
Big Sister and Big Brother sibling tees. 
Pick yours up today for $18. Supplies are limited. 


Is it still cold where you live? We saw sub zero temps this week here in St. Louis. Yesterday's 40 seemed like spring (we were actually out raking and playing in the yard!). Well we didn't want to see your kids freeze for being stylish, so while supplies last, any long sleeve Big Brother Tees available are being offered at the lowered price of $18. Supplies are limited, so hurry up and get shopping!

Btw- Long-sleeved yet cool. No cuffs or funny business going on. Just longer sleeves in the same super soft cotton.

New @ Resa Design

They are here! 

We have three new beautiful Perfect Fit Blankets available. We sought out the best and most stylish flannel we could get our hands on. We also took some of your suggestions and made the blankets a bit larger (now 36" x 30"). This will allow for even more weeks of swaddling and additional uses for  your blanket, like tummy time, private feeding, and your Preschooler will love it for nap time. That said, this did force us to increase the sale price of this item, but we are confident you will be very pleased with the quality and new size.

Don't believe me? Here's a letter we recently received: 
"I just ordered two swaddling blankets from you and absolutely love them! They work  when no other blanket would. They were the only blankets our son wouldn’t wiggle out of. And they are warm, without being too thick. The thin flannel has good ‘sticking’ power so he stays put for hours. And they’re cute! They are definitely going to be our ‘go to’ gift for friends with new babies. Love them. Thanks! Camille"

We have a few of last years blankets remaining, so scoop them while in our Sale section while supplies last.

CPSIA Update @ Resa Design


Thank you for all your support. I've received emails from customers and retailers expressing their concern in how this new law effects Resa Design. I appreciate that you haven't taken this matter lightly and that you're doing what you can to help.


A brief update:
Information is quite hard to come by. [Valid information that is.] If you're not already in the Resa Design Facebook group, please check it out. I try to keep updates on the CPSIA's impact on us and other businesses there. As far as Resa Design goes, we are going to stay open and do what testing we can.  

Here's our plan: [pending any major changes]
Clothing-  At a minimum all our items will be component tested. This will get us to get us to the next deadline in August. We have also removed a few items from our line (for now hats and dresses), and we will be streamlining our shirt styles to only offer lap-tee and crew neck shirts (eliminating jewel neck styles). We may also be cutting all the Big Sibling tees in black from our line. More on this as we decide.
Gear- [i.e. changing pads, blankets, burp cloths, bibs] We are undecided on this as of today. We can component test, but this might not be enough to get us through the February 10th deadline based on my interpretation of the law. 
Mom Made- A few of these vendors are still making decisions for their businesses. Any products not intended for children will remain as they are not effected by this law.
Coming Soon!- This new law has been a good kick in the pants. It's forced us to look closely at our business and our direction. That said, we have a few new ideas and avenues in the works. So stay tuned to a new department at Resa Design for you- not just your kids. We're really excited about it and are sure you, our biggest fans, will be too.

I do have a lot of hope that Congress and the CPSC are going to refine the law and bring some clarity to our market. We are finally seeing some high level attention to this matter. So that should shine a ray of light if nothing else. I rest at night remembering that God is my source. He has flourished our business to the point it is today and I know He wouldn't leave us hanging or see us fail. 

Thanks again for your emails and comments of support. Continue contacting your Congress people and spreading the word about this law.
