MERSEA

MERSEA’s story began on a Kansas City playground where founders Lina Dickinson and Melanie Bolin first met, with swings and schoolyard mayhem in the backdrop. After years of friendship as West Coast transplants and a shared desire to create something outside of motherhood, they launched MERSEA in 2013. Since its inception, the duo has guided the brand’s evolution from nostalgic coastal scents into a full apparel and lifestyle brand.MERSEA has scaled through grit and resilience over the years, securing major collaborations with Anthropologie, FabFitFun, Nordstrom and multiple features on Oprah’s Favorite Things. Today, the brand is built on a foundation of global connectivity, partnering with artisan makers and factories to make clothing crafted with integrity. Outside of its national reach in over 1,300 retail stores, MERSEA is thrilled to be opening its first-ever pop up at the Country Club Plaza in Kansas City in early summer 2026.
