Frescobol Carioca

Rio de Janeiro, Brazil

What Frescobol Carioca is known for

Brazilian resort brand inspired by Rio's beach culture — refined swim shorts and linen resort wear in sustainable quick-dry fabrics and graphic prints rooted in Rio's beach culture.

Frescobol Carioca is a Brazilian brand established in 2009, inspired by the relaxed yet energetic beach lifestyle of Rio de Janeiro. The brand takes its name from the well-known beach game of frescobol, a paddle ball sport native to Rio. The brand celebrates movement, connection, and outdoor fun through high-quality products and an emphasis on the lifestyle rather than just sportswear. Frescobol Carioca's collections feature refined tailoring, breezy linen fabrics, and distinctive graphic prints inspired by Brazil's beach culture. Their swimwear is cut from quick-dry sustainable materials and crafted for feather-light comfort, designed for both laid-back lounging and active play. The company has expanded from its origins in frescobol rackets to create a full resort wear line including swim shorts, linen shirts, espadrilles, and other beach accessories. Frescobol Carioca commits to environmental responsibility by using hand-collected driftwood and native hardwood offcuts recycled from Rio's carpentry trade in their manufacturing.
