Sejarah Mode
Founded in 2012 by Ti Kwa and Jean-Marc Virard, Rigards originated from an interest in traditional eyewear production methods. The brand utilizes sustainable, hand-finished materials and incorporates a wabi-sabi philosophy into its designs. It has established a presence in fashion history through collaborations with designers including Uma Wang and Boris Bidjan Saberi. These projects integrated artisanal craftsmanship with contemporary high-fashion aesthetics.
