Our Story

Rio Soul Live Active is a modern active and beach wear brand combining the soul of Rio with Australia’s coastal active lifestyle. The driving force behind the creation of Rio Soul is Fabio Mateus, Brazilian born and at home in Australia with a background in engineering, Fabio’s passion for the ocean and extreme sports, teaching surfing on Australia’s beaches, led to the inspiration of the Rio Soul Live Active project.  

Our headquarters are in Sydney,  we are an Australian Ltd company (with an ABN) as well as a Brazil Ltd . We have warehousing and distribution in both countries .

“I began the planning and initiation of the project in 2019 after realising that my two worlds, Brazil and Australia, have a common feeling and culture of the active beach lifestyle, and this inspired me of the possibility for fusion of the Rio de Janeiro beach fashion and vibes into the coastal lives of Australian women. I believe that the bold style and new designs of the brand will impact and change the way Australian women feel through their clothing in the gym, on the beach, flowing through yoga or enjoying their body’s freedom of movement in all activities.”
