Sobral specializes in fashion and home accessories as vibrant and (punchy, whimsical, unplanned, fun) as Brazil. The Brazilian born, Sobral, started out by selling his accessories at local crafts markets and now he has stores all over the country and in the US. Most of the brightly colored accessories (baubles) are made of resin, giving the appearance of smooth, sometimes solid colored, more often multi-colored river rocks. Sometimes they are so psychedelic the look candy coated. Sobral even has handbags made of resin. Travelers may want to take home the Corcocvado ring as a souvenir. Or the Corcavado statue as keepsake from Rio for the home. With the tapline "O amor pelo Rio em forma do objects poetics" (The love for Rio in the form of poetic objects).
