BARBARA DELLA ROVERE Barbara della Rovere is a fashion designer of BrazilianItalian origin.
The brand works with the finest leather craftsmen, in northern Italy, that apply centuries-old techniques to produce her bags. She is always searching for new materials and mixing them to create an innovative style. One of the brand’s most notable features is the use of fish skins sourced from a women’s cooperative in the South of Brazil. Barbara chooses to work with this material because of its structure, beauty, texture and above all, sustainability. Reclaiming an ethical relationship between designer and supplier. The philosophy of sourcing sustainable material comes with the hope that our Brand will empower women, by providing alternative economic opportunities to earn a regular income and improve their circumstances.
