Rio. London. Paris. And the city that started it all.

Three cities carry the Bossa Brasil name. Rio, London and Paris live on every hangtag, in every piece we make, behind every movement of the house. This letter adds a fourth: Barbacena, Brazil, the small city in Minas Gerais where our founder and creative director, Mariana Barros Campos, grew up, and where our leather is still worked by hand today.

Rio de Janeiro · Where the collection got its names

The bags are named after the beaches we grew up on.

Leblon, Ipanema, Copacabana: they were neighbourhoods long before they were product names. We still test a new shape by asking if it could survive a walk along the sand at golden hour, and the palette, deep green, warm white, a flash of turquoise, comes straight from the view between the hills and the water.

We design for a woman who would carry a Bossa bag onto Ipanema Beach today, twenty years ago, and twenty years from now. One bag, atemporal.

Copacabana Palace

Avenida Atlântica, 1702 · Copacabana, Rio de Janeiro · 22021‑001

Our inspiration is Copacabana, and its icon from the 1980s is exactly our ethos.

Wander

Café Plage, at Parque Lage

Rua Jardim Botânico, 414 · Jardim Botânico, Rio de Janeiro · 22461‑000

Coffee under the palms in the courtyard of an old mansion, the Atlantic Amazonia rising behind it.

Dinner

Rio Scenarium

Rua do Lavradio, 20 · Centro (Lapa), Rio de Janeiro · 20230‑070

Three floors of live samba inside an old antiques house. This is old Rio, every class dancing at the same table, in the heart of Lapa’s nightlife.

London · Our unexpected headquarters

The house found its wings.

London is where the company was birthed, and where we took flight. It is a market ripe for growth: a city that gave fashion its stage, but where what matters most is quality, not the name on the label. London rewards a brand with a mission, and that is exactly why ours has resonated here.

London taught us that luxury does not have to raise its voice.

Little Venice

Blomfield Road · Little Venice, London · W9

Along the canal, where our design and creative team go for walks between sketches.

Richmond Park

Richmond Park · Richmond, London · TW10 5HS

Wild deer and open sky, twenty minutes from the shop floor. The other side of London.

Dinner

Sarastro

126 Drury Lane · Covent Garden, London · WC2B 5SU

Opera on the walls, candlelight on every table. Theatrical, warm, and never dull.

Paris · Where we learned luxury

The city that taught us what luxury truly means.

Our positioning line reads “Brazilian Heritage. European Luxury.” Paris is where that second half was written. It is our formation, the city that taught us the codes, the standards, and the quiet certainty of true luxury, the place that legitimises everything we make. When we are in town, we start at the Jardin du Palais‑Royal and the Musée Rodin, and end the evening somewhere that has kept its manners for two centuries.

It is only through Paris that one truly understands what luxury means, and everything that comes with it.

Wander

Jardin du Palais‑Royal

6 Rue de Montpensier · 75001 Paris

Rose beds and, at the north end, the striped Colonnes de Buren. Step through the arcade and you are at the door of the Comédie‑Française, where the artists still meet after the curtain falls.

Wander

Musée Rodin

77 Rue de Varenne · 75007 Paris

A townhouse, a rose garden, and The Thinker in bronze. Slow, quiet, and five minutes from the Seine.

Dinner

Anne, at Le Pavillon de la Reine

28 Place des Vosges · 75003 Paris

The beautiful Paris in between old architecture and nature, where every single detail matters, a few steps from the oldest square in the city.

Barbacena, Minas Gerais, Brazil · Where we began

The city you won’t find on a fashion map. The one that matters most.

Barbacena, Brazil, is where Mariana Barros Campos grew up, and where our leather workshop still stands today. Locals call it the Cidade das Hortênsias, the City of Hydrangeas, and every collection we make carries something of a childhood spent among them.

Heritage was not a word we chose for a hangtag. It is a city we go home to.

Wander

Fazenda das Cachoeiras · Mari’s Farm

Zona Rural de Barbacena · Minas Gerais, Brazil

Whenever we are lucky enough to go back, it is the ultimate source of creation, where nature is everywhere, where time completely stops, and everything slows down for us.

Dinner

Esconderijo do Chef

Rua Doutor Cláudio, 624 · Boa Morte, Barbacena · MG · 36201‑036

A chef’s table hidden in plain sight, outdoors under the trees. Our new favourite table at home.

Four cities, one house. We would love to have you at any table above, and we would love even more to see you in the collection that started in all of them.
