Modher
Launched in 2019, by the native Sicilian Designer, Gianna Caravello, MODHER wants to create truly sustainable, plastic-free accessories you’ll wear and love forever.
Designed in San Francisco, handmade in Tuscany—our understated handbags fuse traditional Italian craftsmanship with eco-friendly manufacturing that leaves a minimal carbon footprint.
Social and environmental responsibility are at the core of everything we do. From sourcing quality materials to working with local artisans to using 100% recyclable packaging, we take a thoughtful and ethical approach to luxury.
MODHER offers a core collection of practical, elegant accessories for the consciously stylish consumer.
When Gianna realized the disproportionate use of synthetics in the fashion industry, she decided to put her effort into designing a completely plastic-free and natural experience. So she turned to classic Italian methods and traveled across Italy to team up with craftsmen and suppliers who are fully committed to providing a safe and healthy work environment for their workers and to applying all the latest technologies in order to protect and preserve our ecosystem.
"I founded MODHER with the passion for the beauty and timelessness of Italian design in mind, and an insistence upon a better, more ethical way to create fashion pieces. Now, as a Certified B Corporation, we create handbags that are consciously designed and ethically crafted."
Gianna Caravello is the founder of MODHER, a collection of practical, elegant accessories for consciously stylish consumers. Gianna grew up in Italy and graduated with degrees in Industrial Design from top universities in Milan, where she learned the core design principles of timelessness and functionality. She then moved to the United States to pursue career opportunities as a product and UX designer.
Motivated by her concerns about high levels of waste produced by the fashion industry coupled with mindless consumerism, Gianna set out to achieve her vision for a premium line of sustainable handbags. In 2019 she launched MODHER, designed in San Francisco and ethically handcrafted in Tuscany. The brand merges Gianna’s passion for classic Italian design with her commitment to achieve a better, more conscientious method for creating fashion pieces.
Among Gianna’s proudest accomplishments is MODHER’s B Corporation status, a prestigious accreditation for businesses that demonstrate an exceptional standard of social and environmental performance.
