Deeply immersed in the Hippie movement, designer Carlos Sobral discovered his affinity for using recycled materials to create jewelry and home accessories in the 1960’s. Weaving together his passion & creativity with roots from his native (and vibrant) Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, Sobral was able to successfully launch the self-titled jewelry brand that is both stunning and eclectic. Captivating the eyes and hearts of fashion elite across the globe, Sobral has even partnered with the likes of Karl Lagerfeld to create Laferfeld by Sobral.

Green: The brand’s entire production process is eco-friendly, all the way down to the oxy-biodegrable packaging. Also a humanitarian, Carlos Sobral gives his 160 employees meals, medical care, and retirement packages – typically considered a luxury in Brazil.
