About us
RGB is a consumer-driven, data-informed, multi-channel, digitally-led brand management platform developed to accelerate growth and innovation for lifestyle consumer brands. Founded in 1947 by Florence Melton, RGB launched a suite of comfortable lifestyle products under the Dearfoams brand and captured the comforting sentiment through slippers. Today, Dearfoams has grown to become the leading slipper brand in the U.S. and has expanded its offering to comfortable footwear and lifestyle products. RG Barry continued on with its success and broadened its focus to create a platform of brands that offer solution-oriented products with the acquisition of Baggallini in 2011. Today RG Barry brands include Dearfoams, Baggallini, Columbus Product Group, and the soon-to-be-launched, Planet A. RGB's consumer-first and data-centric approach, combined with its multi-channel distribution enables the Company to deliver retailers and end-consumers with functional, innovative, high-quality product selections focused on modern day demand.

Baggallini's Pop-Up and PR event in Santa Monica was a vibrant, unforgettable success! Over 80 guests attended, including our co-host, Amanda Kloots, Emmy-nominated host of The Talk, along with stars like Marcia Gay Harden, Daniella Monet, Beth Broderick, and 2024 Olympic medalist Anita Alvarez. 🎉 Event Highlights included a stunning 7-foot Modern Everywhere floral installation (a fan-favorite photo op!), monogramming stations with custom bag charms, and a “bag packing station” featuring products from Dearfoams, Dionis Skincare, and Coola. This interactive experience allowed guests to deeply connect with the brand, generating buzz that extended far beyond Santa Monica. 🙌 Big thanks to our amazing Baggallini marketing team for making it all happen!

In honor of this important day, RGB offices will be closed on Wednesday, June 19. At RGB, trust and inclusivity are at the heart of our core values. We respect and appreciate each other's differences and honor the intrinsic worth of every individual.
