U.S. Polo Assn. launches in Brazil with Grupo Pasquini

As U.S. Polo Assn. continues to expand its multi-billion-dollar global presence, Brazil marks an exciting new chapter in the brand's international journey. With its vibrant retail landscape and deep-rooted passion for lifestyle fashion, Brazil offers a natural fit for U.S. Polo Assn.'s authentic connection to the sport of polo. The debut collection in Brazil will showcase timeless, versatile styles across both menswear and womenswear, designed to honor the heritage of the sport while embracing a modern, accessible approach to fashion.

"Launching U.S. Polo Assn. in Brazil, one of the largest and most influential markets in Latin America, is a significant milestone for our global brand," said J. Michael Prince, President and CEO of USPA Global, which manages and markets the global, multi-billion-dollar U.S. Polo Assn. brand. "With the strong leadership of Grupo Pasquini and their expertise in the Brazilian fashion landscape, we are confident in building a long-term, successful presence in the region."

Grupo Pasquini, headquartered in Santa Catarina and known for its 30-year legacy in Brazilian fashion, will oversee U.S. Polo Assn.'s multi-channel rollout across the country. The group's proven track record in menswear and multi-brand distribution will be key to developing a strong retail footprint through a combination of wholesale accounts, owned stores, e-commerce, and marketplace platforms.

"U.S. Polo Assn. is a perfect fit for our strategic growth plan," said Raritom Pasquini, Founder and President of Grupo Pasquini. "The brand brings authenticity, global appeal, and a powerful story rooted in sport, which will resonate strongly with Brazilian consumers."

"We are excited to expand our portfolio with a lifestyle brand that shares our values of quality, accessibility, and innovation," Pasquini added.

As part of the launch celebration, an exclusive, invitation-only event will be held on July 2, 2025, at the Rosewood São Paulo. The evening will offer guests a first look at the collection and feature a curated program that blends fashion, art, and music. Highlights include a roundtable conversation on fashion and business trends in Brazil and a live art activation by local artist Polly. The event will also include live music performances to mark the occasion in true Brazilian style.

Grupo Pasquini plans to open stores in major cities including São Paulo, Rio de Janeiro, Belo Horizonte, Florianópolis, and Porto Alegre, supported by a robust omni-channel retail strategy aimed at delivering a seamless brand experience to consumers nationwide.

This launch marks another important step for U.S. Polo Assn. as the brand continues to build upon its global success story and bring the spirit of the sport of polo to fans and consumers in more than 190 countries.
