Frescobol Carioca opens in SoHo, New York

Manhattan’s SoHo neighbourhood has welcomed Frescobol Carioca, the Brazilian brand renowned for its hand crafted beach paddles and refined leisure wear, to 339 West Broadway. The opening marks a significant expansion for the house, bringing its distinctly carioca sensibility to New York’s most cultivated shopping district.

Jonathan, the store’s manager, has shepherded the project from conception through realisation, ensuring that the space captures the essence of Frescobol Carioca’s heritage. Founded in Rio de Janeiro, the brand has long been synonymous with the particular elegance of Brazilian beach culture: the artisanal wooden paddles, the cotton and linen garments designed for effortless style, and the unrushed philosophy of leisure that defines life along the Atlantic shore.

The SoHo location brings this sensibility to a neighbourhood known for its refined taste and appreciation of singular brands. Customers will find the full range of Frescobol Carioca’s offerings, from the iconic beach paddles in their characteristic shapes and finishes to the considered collection of ready to wear pieces crafted in natural fibres, each designed to move with grace between beach and city.

The store joins a considered roster of independent boutiques in the area, reflecting the brand’s careful approach to retail presence. For those seeking the sophisticated spirit of Brazilian leisure and the hand crafted quality that defines Frescobol Carioca, the new address offers direct access to pieces that have become synonymous with understated elegance and enduring craftsmanship.
