ABOUT THE BRAND

Based in Los Angeles, California, Love and Mercy was birthed from the journey and vision of Founder and Designer, Desireé LeSassier. 

Love and Mercy is a unisex lifestyle. It’s an inspirational brand, driven by confidence with a built in foundation to conquer your fears and walk in your predestined purpose. This brand is elite in its own right. It encourages you to fashionably embrace your moments, your milestones, and your experiences. Knowing that your best days are in front of you, the power of that fact is projected through our bold and unique statement pieces while still serving as a complimentary accessory. Love and Mercy has an underdog mentality with a championship pedigree. 

In just a short time after launching in December 2018, Love and Mercy’s unique designs and competitive price point expanded its reach to over one thousand NEW customers.

By March 2019, Love and Mercy filtered its way to become popular among professional athletes and celebrities world wide. In particular, Love and Mercy has a strong pipeline within the NBA, being worn by players of the league, their significant others, and a host of influencers. Love and Mercy continues to expand throughout all social media platforms and hosting several trunk shows throughout the city of Los Angeles. With kindness in our hearts and compassion in our products, we are proud to offer the world LOVE and MERCY.

ABOUT THE DESIGNER

Born in Inglewood, California, Desireé LeSassier is a teen mother turned entrepreneur. With expertise in ground-up fashion projects, Desireé has taken her concepts and designs for Love and Mercy to a new dimension in fashion. Desireé has always been a visionary with a creative mind and boundless energy. Becoming a mother at the young age of seventeen and again at twenty years old, she managed to defy the statistical odds against her and not only graduate high school, but receive a Bachelors of Arts degree from Loyola Marymount University. 

As one would expect, life posed a level of challenges that made it difficult for her to find a career that fit the lifestyle of the young single mother with two small kids. Working a day job served as a stabilizer for her children but her creative passion always took precedence between her ears. After gifting her friends with some of her hand made candles, jewelry, and paraphernalia, that was the origin to starting her business to inspire and impact the world.

Love and Mercy is a product of the hustle, fight, passion, faith, grace, and overall ambition of Desireé LeSassier.
