So happy to discover they were having a sale! This is one of my favorite shops to get Rio themed…read moreuseful items that also make great gifts. I see these items featured in tourist places like Pão de Açúcar and Forte de Copacabana but they also make items that are great for everyday use. Wallets, keychains, luggage tags, iPod holders, glasses cases, and travel items. Another great thing is that they change their designs every so often so it keeps things fresh and give you a good excuse to keep checking into their store. This also lets them have great sales like the one that's going on now, to clear out older merchandise and make room for the new lines. They have great customer service and are bilingual so its easy to make purchases. They will wrap things if you tell them it's a gift.

I found this place when I first moved to Ipanema and was exploring the area. It's tucked inside one…read moreof those small commercial malls that are often times a hit or miss (sometimes you find cool stores other times it's not very interesting). This mall had some good finds (this store, a beer store, a cool t-shirt store and a papel craft). It has a great collection of Asian collectibles, from classic wooden Buddha statues to intricate hanging lanterns, to reflective hand made jewelry. There's always something within your budget, from really reasonably priced placemats or coin purses to more expensive wooden furniture like an old fashioned school desk (R$2000) or curio cabinet. There are a lot of beautiful wood crafted furniture items and even natural wood items. We decided on a wooden chair that folds out to a step ladder. For the larger items they ship within the area for free. We got ours delivered the next day.

They carry lots of large sizes we couldn't find elsewhere. They have 2 huge walls of the notorious flip flops! The staff is very helpful and nice, especially if your Portuguese is lacking like mine. The nice thing is you can loop around and walk along the beach at Copacabana through to Ipanema at Aproador. The quality is pretty standard, no Nike jerseys, but it's also nowhere near as pricey!

This time I actually looked in and they had some cool designed t-shirts. They only sell men's and women's t-shirts and tank tops (at least at this store), which keeps it simple. They have Carioca styled designs and other general themes. It's a good place to get a simple design, decent quality and a good place for gifts. Staff was friendly and efficient.
