The founder of the brand, surfer Roberto Ricci, began developing the brand in the 80s, creating surfboards designed and made by hand and designed to win windsurfing competitions around the world. In 1995, Ricci, together with creative director Roberto Bardini, founded a new company specializing in clothing. A company designed to change the future of outerwear. The RRD brand (Roberto Ricci Designs) is a stylish Italian brand of technical clothing, which was created in 1989 between Grosseto (Tuscany) and the Hawaiian Islands. Thanks to innovation and continuous research in the world of water sports, the company has been able to create clothing with high technological value, a unique product that combines experience and innovation. The most used fabric of the collection – SURFLEX® – is a unique and advanced material created thanks to RRD’s experimental research. This compact, soft, super elastic, super resistant and versatile fabric is easy to care for and does not require ironing.
