On offer will be the brand’s latest and best selling products including its new Firmeza Body Oil and hero Brazilian Bum Bum Cream, which shoppers can experience via product demonstrations.

Shoppers can also sign up for a chance to win a travel voucher and selection of Sol de Janeiro products said to be worth more than US$1,500. 

Complimentary specialty coffee and hot chocolate is also available via the brand’s free coffee truck which will be running around SoHo.

The US-based digital native brand has gone from strength to strength in recent years, with sales of almost €50m in FY2023 Q1.

Its sunny performance boosted parent company L’Occitane’s sales in the Americas by more than 50% in the same quarter, after the French group acquired a majority stake in the skin care brand in 2021.

The pop-up is open until 22 February on SoHo’s Spring Street in NYC.
