Pistola Denim is looking for summer interns, while we are focused on design or merch fields, we still encourage you to apply and let us know what you are interested in!
Pistola is a Los Angeles-based womenswear brand founded in 2013 by Grace Na. With over twenty years of experience in the apparel industry, Na was able to identify whitespace in the denim market. She aimed to offer high-quality pieces with luxury construction and fabrication at a lower price than her counterparts. With her extensive knowledge of the industry, she made her vision a reality.
Over the last decade, the brand has naturally evolved into new categories, offering everyday premium pieces with street-smart and utilitarian sensibility. Two things have remained consistent since the brand's inception - quality and ease. Pistola continues to produce clothing for a busy, modern, and city-dwelling woman who demands her clothing work as hard as she does. Evolution is in our DNA, but our mission to bring women superior products at sensible prices will never change.
