Our story Two sisters, one small table, and a lot of patience.
How it started
It began very small.
The Resalist began on 18 May 2024, when the two of us decided to make something full of creativity and love, made for one person in particular.
From a small idea between two sisters to a growing handmade brand. That is the whole journey, and the same care goes into every single piece.

An idea, and two sisters
There was no business plan. It just felt like everything on offer in gifting was the same. So we wanted to make something that belonged to one person and was no use to anybody else.
Month 1
A course, and a lot of waste
We took an online resin art course. Then came the practice: bubbles, cloudy resin, pieces that set crooked, flowers that turned black. We lost count of what we threw away. Each one taught us something.
Month 3
The first order
A keychain, for a friend of a friend. We still have her message. That was the point at which this started to feel like it might actually be something.
Today
Varmala frames
We started with keychains and now people trust us with their wedding garlands. That is the heaviest work we do, because if it goes wrong, it cannot be made again.
Away from the table
The two of us, off duty
There is a life outside resin too: concerts, flowers, and a great deal of tea.
Four things we don't compromise on
Everything by hand
No factory, no staff. Every piece has been made by one of us. That is why we only take on as much in a day as we can do properly.
We say no honestly
If your garland has dried too far, or the photograph is too low in quality, we tell you. Getting the work right matters more to us than taking the order.
You see the progress
Photographs keep arriving while we work, so you can see what stage your piece is at without having to ask.
We don't rush it
Flowers take time to dry and resin takes time to cure. We will give you the real timeline, not a shorter one.
One last thing
For us too, your piece is only made once.
So we only take on what we can do properly. And when something cannot be made well, we say that plainly.
