After the opening of Eden, the first eco fashion store in Brazil, we're now delighted to announce the opening of the Pistache & Banana store! Pistache & Banana is the first Brazilian brand for kids that works with fair trade principles and uses materials like organic cotton. The concept of the brand is translated to all aspects of their store that is a real eye catcher in the trendy neighborhood of Vila Madalena in São Paulo.

Here, the little consumers of the store can plant their own trees that they can transfer to the riverside after the trees have matured. Inside, kids can learn about preserving the environment, play with educational toys and surf on the Internet. The design and decoration of the store is in the hands of local artists with the aim to show the synergy between art and nature.
