A Letter from John Rooney
Hi — I’m John Rooney, founder of Ocean State Styles. I launched this brand in 2024 with a simple goal: make everyday pieces that feel good, look clean, and connect you to the coastal calm we love in Rhode Island. We produce each item to order through a vetted partner network — more choice, less waste, steady availability. If anything isn’t right, we’ll make it right — fast. Thanks for being here.
