Robindira Unsworth
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”. Robindira Unsworth… “Elements of exotic beauty designed to inspire a rich life.”
