What Rodo is known for
Florentine luxury accessories brand since 1956—handcrafted woven-leather minaudières, handbags, and shoes emphasizing Italian craftsmanship and artisanal materials.
Rodo was founded in 1956 in Florence by Romualdo Dori (whose name supplies the brand initials). The company built its reputation on straw and wicker handbags popular in the 1950s, then expanded into broader accessories categories. Today Rodo specializes in luxury handbags and shoes featuring woven leather, wicker, and straw details that echo the brand's heritage. The product range encompasses hand bags, shoulder bags, crossbody bags, clutches, ballet flats, mules, pumps, sandals, and slingbacks, with specialty collections including coordinated evening and day sets. All pieces are entirely made in Italy, manufactured at the factory in Mogliano that was built in the 1960s. Romualdo's sons Gianni and Maurizio now lead the brand, maintaining the founder's insistence on quality craftsmanship and research. The company describes its philosophy as bringing 'tradition, innovation and a constant search for perfection' to every creation. Skilled hands of the brand's craftsmen transform precious materials into finished accessories—a handwork-intensive process that marks Rodo's positioning within luxury rather than mass-production.
