Her Name is Rita was born in Barcelona
where Mediterranean warmth meets centuries of craft tradition. Founded by Rifaa, the brand brings together handpicked objects and clothing from two worlds: the sun-drenched coasts of Catalonia and the richly textured heritage of Turkey.
Every piece carries the mark of a skilled hand. The name Rita is a tribute — to the women who create, to the women who wear, and to the quiet elegance of things made with care.
Born between two seas
Her Name is Rita was born in Barcelona — where Mediterranean light meets Anatolian craft. Every piece is handpicked by Rifaa: straw bags from Catalonia, kilims woven in Turkey, garments made with purpose. Slow, intentional, made to last
A place, a feeling, a bag.
Some pieces find you in a market. Others have been waiting in a workshop for the right hands to carry them home. These baskets were made for both.
Woven over generations
Each kilim is hand-woven in Turkey using techniques passed down through families. The patterns tell stories — of villages, of seasons, of women who turned thread into art. No two are the same.
Mediterranean Days
Handcrafted in Spain, our straw bags are made for sun-filled days, seaside escapes and slow summer moments. Natural textures, timeless shapes and effortless Mediterranean style — designed to go wherever summer takes you.

A story of roots, craftsmanship and the beauty of ordinary things.
