Description

Not printed. Built. Arpoador is our first tricolor — the debut of The Horizon Series.

Three panels, one brief

Not a print — built. Three panels of Brazilian fabric, cut and seamed by hand into one Classic brief. Real seams, not a pattern faked onto cloth. More work, and it wears like it.

The colors, drawn from the sunset

Arpoador is the rock in Rio where the whole city stops to watch the sun go down. The colors come straight from it — off white sky, burnt siena sun, deep eclipse sea.

The first of The Horizon Series

The first of Caio’s paneled tricolors, each named for a Brazilian beach. Made only in the Classic cut — the construction only sits right on Classic.

The construction

Not printed.
Built.

Every other patterned brief is a design printed onto one piece of cloth. Arpoador is constructed — three real panels, cut apart and stitched back together by hand, so there are true seams where the colors meet. It takes more work, and it wears differently: structured, deliberate, made to be seen.
