About Modus Rio

For Modus Rio designer and owner, Sara Taublib, good style is innate. The Brazilian native was born into a culture buzzing with impeccable blend of colors, textures, shapes and patterns. Taublib founded Modus Rio 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 Modus Rio. 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 Modus Rio: one is to provide secure jobs and economic boost to Brazil. The other is to create exquisite handbags for cosmopolitan, sophisticated women who value quality and know good style. " I create pieces that I would want to carry " said Taublib. And, after all, Taublib has good style in her DNA. Read their story
