Founded in 2014 by Peruvian siblings Raffaella and Stefano Raffo, Capittana is a swimwear and resort wear brand built on a foundation of social empowerment and artisanal craft. The name, meaning “female captain,” reflects its core mission: providing stable, fair-wage employment to a community of women artisans in Peru, many of whom are single mothers. This commitment to social responsibility is woven into the brand’s identity, with each piece being handmade and celebrating the country’s rich heritage of textile craftsmanship. The collections feature bikinis, one-pieces, and cover-ups distinguished by their detailed crochet work, unique prints, and feminine silhouettes.
