Capittana was founded in 2014 by Raffaella and Stefano, sister and brother, as a dream to become a leading swimwear brand that empowers women through fashion-forward, high-quality products handmade in Peru. Since then, Capittana has become the leader in the Peruvian swimwear industry and has global presence through its e-commerce and leading wholesalers in South America, North America, Europe and Asia. The word 'Capittana' means female captain, which represents a strong, confident and independent woman who lives life with passion. All of our products represent sustainability and female empowerment. The fabrics are produced in a factory that recycles its water, uses solar panels and has tree plantations to neutralize its carbon output. After, the garments are handcrafted by at-risk women and single mothers in Lima, Peru. These women are not just employees but partners of the brand: "Capittanas". We strive to empower them by lifting them out of poverty, providing a stable income and offering a safe, welcoming working environment. With a Capittana product, you are buying more than a product but rather a piece of art made by these inspiring women. THIS IS CAPITTANA!
