For more than 20 years, Dress To has brought the color, patterns, and spirit of Rio de Janeiro to customers across Brazil and beyond. Now, the brand has officially entered the U.S. market with a shop in Miami. Founded in 2003 by Thati Amorim and Rodrigo Braga, Dress To is a women’s apparel label specializing in resortwear. From dresses and matching sets to blouses, sweaters, and accessories, each piece is inspired by the warmth and festivity of carioca culture, the term used to describe natives of Rio de Janeiro. The Brown Sunset Cut-Out One-Shoulder Tulle Maxi Dress is a standout example, capturing the brand’s signature blend of femininity, movement, and tropical beauty.

Sisters Nicole and Stephanie Chehaibar launched the luxury handbag brand Esthera in 2024, and in under two years, they have continued to sell out on their leather goods because demand for their distinctive, timeless designs are so high. The slow fashion brand makes gorgeous collections of shoulder, cross-body, hand, and travel bags as well as belts and straps. Take the 10AM shoulder bag: it’s a stunning asymmetrical design that’s lightweight and sized for the office or the classroom.

Let’s be real: who isn’t obsessed with FARM Rio? The Brazilian fashion brand, co-founded by Kátia Barros and Marcello Bastos in 1997, is beloved for its bold, colorful, nature-inspired prints and relaxed beachy styles that embody the city where it all started in: Rio de Janeiro. Even more, the brand is dedicated to sustainability. Its garments are made from eco-friendly materials, like organic cotton. Meanwhile, the brand uses circularity programs that repurpose surplus fabric and upcycle items to reduce waste (with a zero landfill waste by 2030 goal) and has a tree-planting initiative, One Tree Planted, to offset carbon emissions. There’s so much to love, especially with vibrant pieces like this Black Flowershop Ruched Waist Jersey Blouse.

Since 1979, the Brazilian footwear brand Melissa has been famous for its colorful, retro-inspired jelly shoes, which they now make from a vegan, recyclable PVC called Melflex. The styles are rooted in fun nostalgia. Just look at the Slingback Platform Sandal. The chunky platform screams 1970s, while the fruit-scented jelly straps are so, so ’90s. In brown, this slingback is a hit then, now, and forever.

PatBO is a fashion powerhouse, and Brazilian designer Patricia Bonaldi knows the true power of her brand lies in more than just the glamorous, feminine silhouettes of her pieces — it’s also in the intricate craftsmanship behind each design. The label is celebrated for its detailed hand embroidery and beadwork, which read as stunning wearable art whether on the runway or at a dinner party. Take the Pearl Dust Embroidery Mini Dress from the PatBO and Camila Coelho Resort ’26 collection. It’s a flirty, sleeveless, mini silhouette defined by intricate, hand-sewn pearl and crystal embellishments that shimmer and dazzle with every movement.
