Aphrodite
The Aphrodite is one of Rocío’s most iconic sculptural forms — a fluid, curvaceous silhouette sculpted from solid sustainable acacia wood. Inspired by the timeless softness of the feminine form, the piece moves from curve to contour with the quiet confidence of a sculpture encountered in a private gallery.
Each piece is meticulously carved and lacquered by master artisans before being hand-finished to a satin-smooth touch that reveals the natural depth and movement of the wood beneath. The form rises gently from a grounded base into a sculpted peak, drawing the eye upward toward the brushed 18k gold-tone brass clasp — a quiet architectural punctuation that completes the composition.
Aphrodite is not merely carried; she is worn as an extension of the body — a sculptural companion for the woman who moves through the world with grace, intention, and an appreciation for objects of beauty.
Over time, Aphrodite has become one of the defining sculptural forms of the Rocío house.
A true Rocío icon.

Care Instruction
Simple steps to enjoy your Rocio for a lifetime
- Always gently wipe moisture from the bag with a soft cotton cloth to avoid watermarks on the attractive and protective lacquer finish.
- NEVER use chemical cleansers,course cloths or harsh soaps.
- To help your bag retain its sheen , we recommend using a small amount of wax applied & removed with a soft clean microfiber or cotton cloth.
- When you are not showing off your Rocio bag, keep it safe inside its protective dust bag.
- Store your bag away from direct sunlight or heaters to protect the natural oils that are an integral ingredient in our materials. Moderate room temperature is best for longevity.
- Most of all, like any handmade product, misuse can result in unsightly scratches and nicks, so always handle your bag with extra care!

At ROCIO, we believe longevity is the most meaningful form of sustainability. We create enduring sculptural handbags using carefully selected materials, considered production, and a commitment to lasting beauty.
Our certified acacia wood is responsibly sourced through managed forestry programmes, where renewal and replanting support long-term environmental balance. Each piece is designed to be cherished, restored, and passed on through generations.
We embrace a slower, more thoughtful approach to creation — producing with care, reducing waste, and valuing permanence over excess. Many ROCIO pieces can be restored to extend their life, and seasonal samples are repurposed wherever possible.
