A resin film for use in laminating for producing decorative laminates which are equal or superior to conventional polyvinyl chloride resins in suitability for embossing, processability, and long-term water resistance and can be significantly well-designed; and a decorative laminate in which the resin film has been laminated. The resin film is obtained by compounding a polyester resin with "0.5 to 60 wt.% crystallization accelerator having a particle diameter of 0.01 to 5 mu m, forming the mixture into an unstretched film, and embossing at least one side of the film. The resin film is laminated to a metallic or wooden plate, a board, etc. to produce a decorative laminate.
