our inspired brand story.
Founded by Bondi Local - Alex Nieuwenhuys in 2018, Alex's focus was to deliver a brand that represented her love of travel, style, design and paying homage to her European roots.
This Australian brand and Small Business Startup has developed a national following with plans to expand across the Pacific and then Globally by 2021.
rhodin. is the result of Alex's obsession with Travel and Tourism - having worked as a Sales & Marketing Director for some of the worlds largest travel brands. Some say it is an interesting combination and crossover - however with Alex's background - she wanted a collection that you can easily pack to feel beautiful and effortless during your travels.
The current product lines feature Sunglasses, Earrings and her Woven by Rhodin pieces with a new line coming in 2022 - that promises to anchor rhodin. into the travelluxe mindset.

A little piece of background on our main inspiration below.
Welcome to rhodin.
The inspiration behind rhodin. comes from the era of an amazing lady named Anne.
A true lady whose style ran across the decades from the 30s...she was an entertainer, a style maven, a model,
a mother and most of all my beloved Nan.
She loved her family, holidays, afternoon cocktails and telling tales.
I miss her - this is for you Nanny Rhodin xxxx
p.s her eyewear collection was amazing.
