Gilson Martins

Rio de Janeiro


Like its flagship store in Ipanema, this colorful shop sells well-crafted wallets, messenger bags, purses, key chains and other items with images of Cristo Redentor (Christ the Redeemer), the Brazilian flag and other iconic designs. Products are durable and use recycled and sustainable materials – and are not available outside of Rio.
