Born in Brazil, brought to California.

Samba is brazilian beachwear as it actually is. Not brazilian-inspired, not brazilian-adjacent — every piece is made in Brazil and cut the brazilian way, because there's a difference and you feel it the second you put it on.

The word samba is movement, noise, people who don't need a reason. That's a brazilian beach. Nobody's adjusting their suit, nobody's hiding behind a towel, and everybody looks good anyway. That's the feeling we're bringing over.

"I grew up five minutes from the beach, which sounds like a small detail, but it's the whole thing. Five minutes means the beach isn't a plan, It's just where you are — for no special reason at all. You end up owning more bikinis than jeans.

Then I moved to the U.S., and one of the first things I noticed was that the bikinis didn't feel the same. You could find something close if you looked hard enough, but never quite the real thing.

I wanted to bring that here almost three years ago. Then life happened, and I didn't. This year, 2026, I finally did.

I moved to California cause it reminds me of home, but what I miss the most about brazilian beaches is everything that happens around it. The vendors walking the sand with anything you could possibly want, the noise, the energy, and the freedom of spending the whole day there without needing anything else.

You never had to leave the beach. The beach came to you.

I can't ship you that. But I can ship you the rest of it."
