Combining the Portuguese name for Brazilian beach paddle ball and the moniker for natives of Rio de Janeiro, Frescobol Carioca was launched in 2009 by longtime friends Harry Brantly and Max Leese. The London-based menswear label is best known for its luxury swimwear made of quick-drying fabric printed with abstract patterns inspired by the culture and landscape of Brazil, where the founders frequently visit.
