Every item selected with intention. Each piece chosen for its longevity. RŌ Archives, a newly launched online destination for vintage designer jewellery and accessories, carries stories within its collection.
The brand brings together pieces from leading luxury houses – Chanel, Dior, Prada, Gucci, Givenchy, Yves Saint Laurent, Fendi, Celine, Louis Vuitton and Tiffany & Co – for those who appreciate beauty with character, craftsmanship and history behind it.
Founder Jess Baldino says timeless designs often don’t get the love they deserve.
“Once collected, stored and preserved, these designer items were never meant to disappear,” says Jess. “They were meant to be worn, loved and appreciated again.”
“The items I want to showcase through RŌ Archives are the beautiful, unique finds you can keep forever – pieces that tell a story and become part of your identity.”
“It’s my belief that great style comes from collecting pieces that are authentically you; the pieces you love and wear repeatedly, rather than constantly chasing trends.”
What’s in the collection
The launch collection spans earrings, bracelets, necklaces, rings and bags, with jewellery ranging from refined everyday pieces to bold runway-style statement designs in gold and silver tones.
Items are sourced from around the world, and every piece comes with an authentication certificate. The collection sits mostly at the higher end, with prices varying across pieces – and a bridal section offers an elegant way to tick off ‘something old’.
From Vogue clippings to a vintage archive
Named for her children, Rocco and Rozalia, RŌ Archives marks a full-circle moment for Jess, who moved from a career in marketing and content creation to build the collection – returning to her first love of fashion and art history.
“I first fell in love with fashion in my early high school years, when I discovered a collection of old Vogue magazines in an art class,” she says. “I would spend hours cutting out images of Chanel, Prada and Fendi designs and saving them. It was my early 2000s version of Pinterest, and my first real introduction to the world of luxury fashion.”
The concept came together in just six months, with Jess’s clear vision and quick rapport with collectors and businesses driving the archive’s rapid growth.
The idea at its core: statement keepsakes that aren’t tied too strongly to a trend or decade, and that work effortlessly across different occasions – vintage brought into the present, ready to be mixed into a dress code that’s entirely your own.
