Shanghai, Beijing, Miami, Seoul, Singapore, Las Vegas, Hong Kong, Tokyo, New York… Since 2000, Barbara Rihl has been travelling around the world over 68 countries as the brand designer & CEO.

Communication with artists, appreciation for poetry, and especially traveling, are the sources of my inspiration. I wish my bags could be your best travel companion”. Her bags certainly do attract the eye with even celebrities and royalty, including Kate Middleton and Emma Watson, showing appreciation for her fun designs.
“I encourage people to dream until their dreams come true. Communicate light hearted thoughts, joy and laughter and remember them in order to cultivate desire, good humor, enthusiasm and strength.” Barbara Rihl.
