The Robindira Unsworth
collection combines the essence of exotic cultures with a modern design
sensibility to create a look and feel that is not only luxurious--but
distinctive and timeless. A fusion of Robindira’s Northern
California aesthetic combined with her appreciation for the exotic
cultures of the Middle East, Asia and North Africa, each piece is
thought of as a precious gift with purpose—to adorn and inspire the
wearer to feel their best and to live well.
The daughter of an independent filmmaker and a clothing designer,
Robindira’s design sense was formed at an early age. As a child,
Robindira spent her afternoons in her mother’s
atelier….sorting buttons, color coordinating her mother’s
vast collection of fabrics and laces and reading countless issues of
Vogue and Bazaar, dreaming of the days when she would be grown up enough
to wear runway fashion. When Robindira finished school, being
unconventional like her parents, she chose a different path for her
life—instead of pursuing a career that she was familiar with, she
chose to work in social services. For many years she worked with diverse
populations such as AIDS dementia patients and adults with developmental
disabilities. She learned to truly appreciate the strength and beauty of
the human spirit and the amazing resiliency of the people around her,
and in the process found the desire to create. She describes her first
foray into design as “an unexpected gift that changed my life”
and Robindira Unsworth, the company was born.
Based in Northern California,
in Sonoma County, Robindira fills her life with inspiration to fuel
ideas for her exotic jewelry collections. When she is not at her
Moroccan inspired design studio working on her next line, she can be
found exploring far flung destinations for design ideas, toiling in her
garden or relaxing with her husband and two exuberant spaniels at home
under their ancient wisteria vine. Robindira feels her greatest gift has
been the many wonderful clients, artisans, friends and collaborators she
has worked with over the last number of years—”I feel so
fortunate to have people of such beauty in my world—-this is truly
what inspires my work and I hope in turn my work will inspire others to
create a rich life of their own”.
