Richard Ricardo Gibbs had been selling travel products designed by others for 40 years when he finally decided to follow his passion and start a company that would design and deliver luggage the way it ought to be done.  From his home in Beverly Hills, Richard founded RICARDO BEVERLY HILLS in 1978 based on some very simple ideas.

He wanted to make really honest luggage....luggage that was made better, luggage that performed better. This luggage had to demonstrate obvious great value..not the lowest prices, but honest, affordable prices.  Very importantly, this gear had to look sharp..it had to command attention.
