But this is the birthplace. It seems like you can find a store on every street corner in Rio. On our last day we had plenty of free time. I did a Google and found a store two blocks down from the Hilton Copacabana hotel. A 5 minute walk. Hubby & I walked over around 9:30am.

What better than that. A great souvenir that is functional. This store has a very small footprint but if you're in the market for a pair.
