THE START
Established in 2017 in the vibrant city of London, R H A I K A emerged under the leadership of our founder, Raianny Barbarioli, with a clear mission: to create functional collections specifically designed for the day-today life of fashion-forward women leading active lifestyles, navigating the demands of a multitasking routine with effortless elegance & versatility.
OUR FOUNDER
Born and raised in Brazil to a family of Italian heritage, Raianny moved to the UK in her 20’s. Holding a business degree with expertise in the fashion industry, she navigated the realms of London, Paris, and Milan, working for renowned European designers. This important chapter in her career would later inspire the launch of R H A I K A.

OUR COLLECTIONS
Acclaimed by prestigious Fashion Magazines: British Vogue & Harper's Bazaar have written about our collections attesting our brand’s excellence.
Internationally recognized: While the brand's roots were originally established in the UK during its formative years, a pivotal shift occurred in 2021 with strategic logistics restructuring, leading to the relocation of R H A I K A's operations base to the USA. This move resulted in optimized distribution systems and an expanded international presence, propelling the brand into the global arena and solidifying its standing as a brand with widespread distribution.
