Pros
- Atelier Craftsmanship: Founded in 2002, PatBO works with an atelier of about 200 women artisans in Uberlandia, Brazil, and 558 of its in-stock listings are marked Made in Brazil.
- Clear Fiber Labels: Most listings state the composition, such as 94% viscose and 6% elastane on the Moonlit Jersey Midi Dress or 100% cotton on the Seaweed Shell Embroidered Midi Dress.
- A Deep Sale Section: Hundreds of pieces are marked down 20 to 50 percent, including the Wave Mesh Long Sleeve Mini Dress at $362 from the store's own $725 price.
Cons
- Sale pieces are final sale and cannot be returned or exchanged, and full-price returns carry a $10 restocking fee inside a 14-day window, so check the size chart, fiber details and model's size before buying a markdown.
- Independent reviews are scarce, with one Trustpilot review and one PissedConsumer complaint about an undelivered order, so keep your confirmation email and use the help-center chat early if tracking stalls.
The Verdict
What sets PatBO apart is hand embroidery and beadwork from a Brazilian atelier, sold direct at designer level: Patricia Bonaldi founded PatBO in 2002 after building a couture and eveningwear label in Sao Paulo. Her atelier in Uberlandia, a city the brand calls Brazil's capital of embroidery, recently marked its 20th anniversary with about 200 women artisans, and since 2015 she has run a free school that teaches embroidery and sewing. The label shows at New York Fashion Week and runs boutiques in New York and Miami's Design District. On the US store, 558 of the 621 in-stock listings say Made in Brazil, and most state the fiber content, from 100% cotton on the Seaweed Shell Embroidered Midi Dress to 82% polyamide and 18% elastane on the Seaweed Lace Bikini Top. Most pieces are hand wash only, which suits occasion and resort wear more than daily basics. Prices sit at designer level. The Golden Dune Lycra Bodysuit is $495, the Dora Taffeta Jumpsuit $875, the Boho Mini Dress $925 and the Crochet Bloom Cut Out Beach Dress $1,495, while heavily embroidered gowns reach $6,700. The sale section is deep, with pieces at 20 to 50 percent off the store's own prices, such as the Moonlit Jersey Midi Dress at $447 from $895 and the Seaweed String Bikini Bottom at $97 from $195. US ground shipping costs $10 and is free over $200, expedited is $20, and international orders ship duties-paid by DHL Express in up to 15 business days, with costs shown at checkout. Canada and Australia are both on the shipping list, and US orders leave within 2 business days by FedEx, UPS or DHL. The reservations are the return terms and a thin outside record. Full-price pieces can be returned unworn with tags within 14 days, but a $10 restocking fee comes off the refund, and sale items are final sale with no returns or exchanges. Sizes run 0 to 12 and XS to XL, and the size guide is an image in the help center, so read it before ordering. Independent reviews are almost absent, with one Trustpilot review and one complaint about an undelivered order. Buy full-price pieces when you are unsure of fit, keep your order email, and use the chat early if anything goes wrong.

Is this PatBO review sponsored?
No. PatBO did not pay for this write-up, see it before publication, or have any say in the verdict. If we earn anything it is a commission after you buy, and it comes out of the merchant’s margin rather than your price.
How was the PatBO assessed?
By using it and by checking the claims made about it against what it actually does. Where our time with something has been limited, the review says so rather than implying more testing than happened.
What else have you reviewed in Style & Fashion?

Do you update reviews after publishing?
Yes — when a product changes, when a price moves for good, or when we get something wrong. Corrections are made on the piece itself with a note saying what changed.
