Modus Rio

For ModusRio designer and owner Sara Taublib, good style is innate. The Brazilian native was born into a culture buzzing with impeccable blends of colors, textures, shapes, and patterns. Taublib founded ModusRio in 2007 with a commitment to provide premium quality handbags that are functional, chic, and beautifully crafted. While Taublib is a bona fide New Yorker these days, her home country remains at the heart of ModusRio. Every single material — from the linen to the leather — comes from Brazil, and a small team of talented artisans make each and every handbag in Rio. Taublib has two missions for ModusRio: one is to provide secure jobs and an economic boost to Brazil. The other is to create exquisite handbags for cosmopolitan, sophisticated women who value quality and know good style. "
