International Women's Day: The Women Behind Pitusa

At Pitusa, we're passionate about empowering women, in the workplace and beyond. We are proud to employ a predominantly female staff in every department and at all levels of the company. 

Pitusa draws it's inspiration from the beauty that every woman has to offer, from all the cultures of the world. Today, and always, join me in celebrating the women in your life and their positive impact in our communities.

I may be the founder of Pitusa, but these are the women behind the brand. So, here's a special thank you to all the brilliant team members who are helping create a more gender-inclusive world.

We are so happy to share with you just a few of the women from our Peru and Miami team who help make the brand possible!

My name is Gabi and I am the Creative Director at Pitusa! Coming from a large corporate background the fact that Pitusa is a small company was extremely appealing to me. Having it be a company that predominantly employs women was just a beautiful bonus! The fact that I am able to know everyone within the company gives Pitusa a real strong sense of camaraderie. Plus as a mother, work life balance is something that is extremely important to me, and something that is hard to achieve for most working mothers. What made me decide to work for Pitusa was the knowledge that our CEO is a mother first as well as our fearless leader. 

The fact that no matter your title in the company everyone truly works collectively. There is an understanding that we are all in it together, therefore if I shine at my job, it's because of the people behind the scenes working with me.

 

My name is Christina and I am the Social Media Manager at Pitusa. I feel so proud to be at a company that is not only woman owned but  that predominantly employs women. The women I work with are so hard working and I feel lucky to be able to work with them everyday -  we are truly a family who constantly support each other.

Pitusa is special to me because our focus is to continuously create clothing that empowers women. It makes me so happy when receive messages from customers through our social media telling us how beautiful our pieces make them feel because each piece is truly made with love!

 

Hello my name is Monica, I belong to the administrative team for Pitusa in Peru. I feel really happy working with Pitusa, it’s been almost 2 years. Pitusa for me is really special because it’s given me the opportunity to meet a lot of women who have grown with Pitusa, entrepreneurs who have each contributed their designs to be able to share them with you and provide you all of that comfort every day. Thank you and happy Women’s Day!
 

Hi my name is Doris, I have worked for Pitusa for over 7 years and I’m in charge of overseeing production. I feel proud to be working at Pitusa because they employ woman who are young and some are mothers.Their designs, color selection and combination, their Peruvian artisanal accessories, their brand is pretty, happy, and young. 

I started with only one machine where I would make the samples. Nowadays, I’m in charge of one line, 15 machines, 15 people, and I make sure that the Pitusa quality and production stays on track.  I felt empowered as a woman when the owners of Pitusa, Clara and Ricardo, were mentors to me, backed me up, and showed me skills. 

 

We're so excited to share our very own podcast, "After Hours with Pitusa Mama"! We couldn't think of a more appropriate day to launch this empowering series than on International Women's Day!
