If you’ve ever wondered why some bags just feel different… it usually comes down to two things: story + craftsmanship.
Modus Rio was founded in 2007 by designer Sara Taublib, a Brazilian native who grew up surrounded by bold colors, rich textures, and a culture that takes being “put together” seriously.
As Sara says, growing up in Rio meant you didn’t leave the house without being styled head to toe.
She brought that energy to NYC, worked at a high level in the jewelry industry… and eventually created Modus Rio for women who want handbags that are:
-
Functional
-
Chic
-
Beautifully crafted
-
Made to last
Here’s the part we love most: every material—linen, leather, everything—comes from Brazil, and the bags are handmade by a small team of artisans in Rio.
So yes, you’re getting a gorgeous bag… but you’re also carrying a piece of Brazil with you.
