In the spring of 1991 a lady named Pepita came to Cabo San Lucas with her husband Ron. They liked it so well; they went back to California, quit their jobs, sold the house and moved to Cabo. While trying to decide how to make a living, Pepita realized there was nowhere in town to buy lingerie. She said, Panties? I can sell panties! So the idea for Magic of the Moon was born. Pepita and Ron then proceeded to find and remodel a location, procure all the licenses needed to do business in Mexico and opened Magic of the Moon for the first time in November of 1991. Because the location, at the time, was a little out of the way and being new in town, the first year was not very busy.

Pepita seems to be a woman of boundless energy so while business was slow she started sewing beads onto bustiers, they were an immediate hit. She then found that some people wanted the bustiers to be more casual so she searched out a seamstress and started covering them with wild fabrics. While these also became very popular, the customers wanted more. So Pepita found a supplier of skirts and slacks. Now everyone could have a complete outfit. Sales increased and so did Pepita’s energy.

In January of 1995 she found she needed more room, so she rented the store next door, removed the wall, moved the doors to the front and added a display window.

As Pepita learned more about her customers, she found they wanted high quality merchandise and clothing that was different from the department stores in the U.S. She searched the West Coast markets but didn’t find anything very unusual. She then tried going to the designers to find something that really "popped" but found they were overpriced and not all that different.

After months of frustration she decided to try her hand at designing her own styles and realized she is very good at coming up with styles that look great on women of all shapes and sizes. People really like her ideas.

Pepita first designed a blouse she called the Cha Cha and a flowing skirt to match. These were so well received she decided to attempt designing dresses and has never looked back.

Now most of the clothes you find at Magic of the Moon are Pepita’s designs. You will find an amazing array of blouses, skirts, pants, dresses and pareos. There are now even designs for the youngest of young ladies. She will even make you matching mother and daughter sets.

1998 was another big year with lots of changes. In May she expanded the store once again to allow for all the new designs and fabulous fabrics. Magic of the Moon is now the largest clothing store in Cabo San Lucas.

Then in June 1998 she decided working with a sewing contractor didn’t give her enough control over quality and price so she rented another building, bought a bunch of sewing machines and opened her own factory.

One of the reasons Pepita’s styles are so popular is because she has designs for everyone, from extra small to 4X. She also accepts custom orders from a stock of over 600 beautiful imported fabrics, which can be ready in just three days. She also does alterations on Magic Designs at very reasonable prices. Where can you find that this side of Hong Kong?

So when you get to Cabo, unpack, have a margarita and stop in at Magic of the Moon first to talk with Pepita and place your orders.

She buys and imports only the finest quality designer fabrics and is very proud of her slogan,

"WE MAKE CLOTHES THE OLD FASHIONED WAY, ONE AT A TIME"

So do yourself a favor and stop by Magic of the Moon to meet Pepita.

You will have a great time.
