About The Rescue Kit Company
Meet the Sisters Behind The Rescue Kit Company
Risa Kostis
Co-founder & CEO
Professional wardrobe stylist, philanthropist, and dog mom extraordinaire. Risa has been fashion-forward since age two and proudly owns a rose gold karaoke mic she’s not afraid to use.
Jessica Zeldner
Co-founder & COO
Former Occupational Therapist, boy (and dog) mom, and trail-loving adventurer. Known for secretly raiding Risa’s amazing wardrobe back in the day.
Risa and Jessica come from a family of problem solvers. In 2018, Risa’s biggest problem was that there was only one of her—and a million brides needing her styling magic. Faced with more weddings than she could attend, she created a product that allowed every bride to style themselves with confidence.
Lovingly nicknamed “Risa’s brain in a bag,” The Bride Kit was born. It’s packed with the exact tools, tricks, and tips Risa used on A-list clients—now made accessible for every woman getting dressed for her big moment. Together, the sisters turned a one-woman service into a beautiful, scalable mission.
Giving back has always been part of our mission, and we're proud to support those navigating life's biggest challenges—not just fashion ones. Discover our partnership with the Dempsey Center →
