Lapa's most creative boutique captures the bohemian spirit of the neighborhood in a wide range of clothing and accessories, all created by local designers. Check out geometric necklaces and bracelets by Linguagem Primativo, bath products by Vanzinga, swimwear by Rota do Sul, dresses by Fios e Atavios, eco-joias (sustainably made jewelry) by Raquel Duarte and printed shirts (for men) by Geração.

Other finds include lovely wooden cutting boards by Raiz and notebooks and satchels covered in brightly printed fabrics. There's also a veg-friendly cafe on-site.
