For more than three decades, Susan Dunn has shaped an enduring vision of luxury—one defined not by excess, but by intention, artistry, and the transformative power of water. Her creations, imbued with a singular aesthetic sensibility, stand as refined expressions of wellness and design, each reflecting a life devoted to beauty with purpose.
A Stanford alumna with an inherently entrepreneurial spirit, Susan’s early ventures in designer women’s fashion, intimates, and accessories established the foundation for her distinguished evolution into the world of luxury home and lifestyle. Across each chapter, her work has remained guided by a commitment to craftsmanship, innovation, and the pursuit of excellence—earning recognition for collections that harmonize artisan mastery with quiet sophistication.
At the outset of her career, Susan introduced her pioneering One-Size-Fits-Most Spa Slippers with patented SOLE MATES® non-slip soles—an innovation that redefined comfort within the luxury space. Embraced by a devoted following, these creations marked the genesis of what would become the Spa Wear movement: a visionary merging of indulgence and ease. This early breakthrough laid the groundwork for her most profound expression to date—Susan Dunn® Luxury Collections—her magnum opus in water- and wellness-inspired living.
Within these collections, each creation exists as an individual work of art, while together they form a cohesive and immersive universe. Meticulously conceived and curated, they draw upon the world’s most exceptional materials—eco-conscious brass, precious metals and gemstones, hand-blown glass, and bespoke textiles—each element chosen for its integrity and beauty. Subtly infused with her signature essential oil blend, the collections engage the senses, offering an experience that transcends the visual to evoke balance, tranquility, and well-being.
Her distinct stylistic expressions—Bejeweled, Eternity, Purity and Serenity, and Unity—serve as emotional narratives, each embodying a facet of her philosophy and an invitation into a deeper connection with her work.
At the heart of Susan’s creative life is Villa Solace, her private sanctuary and living atelier. Here, surrounded by the quiet presence of water, her philosophy is not only conceived but lived. Daily rituals within the pool and spa environment become acts of restoration and inspiration, sustaining a practice where art and life exist in harmonious continuity. It is within this intimate setting that her vision is continually refined—rooted in the belief that water holds the power to restore, transform, and elevate.
Central to Susan Dunn Luxury Collections is the guiding ethos SOLACE PER AQUA®—peace through water. More than a philosophy, it is the foundation upon which every creation rests. Each detail, each finish, each material is considered through this lens, resulting in a body of work that embodies a rare equilibrium of elegance, purpose, and sensory experience.
Susan’s vision extends beyond the creation of objects; it is an invitation to a way of living. With her signature expression, CREATE YOUR SANCTUARY ~ INDULGE YOUR SENSES®, she calls upon a discerning clientele to embrace a life of balance, beauty, and intentional indulgence.
In Susan Dunn’s world, true luxury is not merely possessed—it is felt, experienced, and lived.
Susan’s journey transcends the creation of luxurious items; it is a holistic pursuit of beauty and balance. Villa Solace, her sanctuary, embodies her philosophy where life mirrors art. It is here, amidst the serene embrace of water, that Susan’s creativity flourishes. Her daily rituals in the pool and spa-styled bathroom are not just routines but acts of devotion, nurturing her vision and well-being. Villa Solace is the heart where Susan’s dreams take shape, reflecting her belief in the transformative power of water and balance.
At the core of the Susan Dunn Luxury Collections lies the ethos of SOLACE PER AQUA® or “peace through water”—a principle that guides every facet of her creations. This mantra is more than a trademark; it is a reflection of Susan’s holistic vision, where every detail and finish is designed to enhance the symbiotic beauty of her collections. The result is a realm of unmatched luxury, where each piece is a testament to the art of living well, distinct in its elegance and purpose.
Susan’s aspiration is a world where balance, harmony, and wellness are accessible to all. Her collections are an invitation to find solace in water, to embrace tranquility, and to indulge in the luxury of self-care. With her newest trademark, “CREATE YOUR SANCTUARY. INDULGE YOUR SENSES.®,” Susan encourages a journey of self-discovery and indulgence, embodying her philosophy that true luxury is not just about what we own, but how we live. Through her artistry and innovation, Susan seeks to inspire a life of peace, pleasure, and profound well-being, anchored in the timeless elegance of water.
