It's about Brazil.Waiwai Rio was born in 2015 by the hands of designer Leo Neves – a handcrafted bag brand that extols the charms of its homeland with a fun twist. He himself is an eternal boy from Rio, a born esthete who strengthened this verve with a strong work as a stylist, in addition to years of design assistance for strong names in the Rio scene.Adept at slow fashion, Waiwai favors national production.
