Introducing VATA Brasil

Who we are and what we do
     

VATA Brasil is a unique line of active wear "Active WearEver" and inspired by Brasilian beach wear. Designed in Vancouver by a Brasilian designer and athlete (Ananda) and manufactured in Rio de Janeiro, VATA Brasil helps you make the most of your active life, dresses you in excitement, outfits you with innovation, pushes you to greater performance and fills you with true Brasilian energy.

We operate a retail location on Richards Street in Vancouver and are working on developing retail and wholesale markets across North America, Mexico, Europe, the Middle East, India and Australia.
