About Us
Arpoador, Rio de Janeiro
Born on a rock in Arpoador, watching the sun go down.
Our story
ARPO is born from Arpoador and the Brazilian lifestyle.
An evening swim. Friends who became family. The wind on Avenida Vieira Souto. ARPO carries that feeling with you, wherever you go next.
Every style carries the name of a place that shaped us — Arpoador, Ipanema, Lapa, Trancoso. Not a coincidence. A map.
Where the names come from
Each model carries the name of a place we've actually stood.
How we operate
Rooted in Rio. Built to ship anywhere, safely.
We're a Brazilian brand. To process payments and ship securely worldwide, our international operations run through our U.S. entity. Same brand, same small team — just the technical side of shipping globally.

We're a small, independent team building this one pair at a time — and we'd rather earn trust slowly than inflate a number. Come see what's next.
