Hey y’all! I’m Marisa, the founder and owner of Southern Sol—and soon-to-be mama to our first baby, Henry, arriving this April 2025! My husband Jake and I are so excited for this next chapter.
Southern Sol began as a dream back in high school, inspired by my cousin Frank’s surf shop, Fox Den, in Webster. I fell in love with everything about it and knew I wanted to create a space of my own one day. While doodling ideas in my college notebooks at Blinn, a friend helped me land on the name “Southern Sol,” and it stuck—it felt like sunshine, unique and meaningful.
From pop-ups and vendor booths to a full storefront in Friendswood, Southern Sol has grown right alongside me. I balanced school, jobs, and a whole lot of trial and error to get to where we are today. After getting married to Jake in 2022 and navigating a few big life changes, I made the tough but right decision in 2023 to close our Friendswood storefront and shift our focus back online. But we’re still here! You can shop with us anytime online or visit our mini booth located inside Silver Bee Boutique in Friendswood.
Southern Sol isn’t just a boutique—it’s a part of my heart, my story, and now my growing family’s journey. This is truly the shortened version of a long and winding road, but thank you for being part of it. I’m so excited for this next chapter with y’all by my side!
