SUMMER WEAVE WONDERS BY RODO

The brand’s Spring/Summer 2024 collection marries tradition with trend, celebrating 70 years of weaving mastery.

Amid the ebb and flow of fashion seasons, RODO’s Spring/Summer 2024 collection is a testament to the charm of artisanal craftsmanship and the timeless elegance of natural materials. Dubbed “Playing with RODO,” this collection marks a significant milestone in the brand’s storied history, highlighting 70 years of weaving mastery passed down through generations.

This season, RODO reclaims its crown as the monarch of weaving, presenting a captivating array of bags that seamlessly blend denim, leather, and canvas. This harmonious integration of diverse textures and fabrics is a nod to the key trends for Spring/Summer 2024. The collection’s emphasis on woven details and organic fibres echoes the broader fashion narrative of embracing earthy tones and textures, reflecting a collective yearning for authenticity and sustainability.

Footwear within the collection is a symphony of craftsmanship and detail. Sandals and slingbacks are adorned with covered rings, a testament to RODO’s commitment to intricate, handcrafted embellishments. Heels of varying heights boast woven accents and are further enhanced by the sparkle of precious crystals, marrying the rustic charm of natural weaves with the opulence of jewelled adornments. This juxtaposition exudes contemporary elegance, offering women an array of seasonal pieces poised to bring playfulness to the look.

RODO’s iconic clutches receive a glamorous update with metal flowers and strass, while evening bags dazzle with materials perforated with crystals, rendered soft and voluptuous through the Puffy elaboration. These pieces are crafted not just as accessories but as artefacts of beauty, designed to bestow upon the RODO Community a distinct and exclusive aura for ceremonies and special occasions.

“Playing with RODO” is more than a collection. It is a celebration of the brand’s weaving heritage. This art form not only defines the brand’s legacy but also resonates with the Spring/Summer 2024’s inclination towards craftsmanship, natural materials, and blending artisanal with glamour.

Set to grace stores in April 2024, the collection will be available at prestigious locations, including RODO Plaza Indonesia, Masari Store Senayan City, and Pondok Indah Mall.
