Today marks the 110th anniversary of International Women’s Day, a day to reflect on the social, economic, cultural, and political achievements of women around the globe. Aside from donating to female-focused charities, raising awareness about women's equity, and lobbying for gender parity, spending your money at women-owned businesses is one of the easiest ways you can show support on IWD.
Women of the past and present are paving the way for future female business leaders. According to a 2020 study, 40 percent of United States companies are women-owned, and there are 114 percent more women entrepreneurs than 20 years ago.

Gigi Pip
Gigi Pip's hats are made by women, for women. Simple, sleek, yet extremely fashionable, the brand's toppers are designed to inspire confidence and meant to be worn for all the different "hats" women wear in life. That said, Gigi Pip's hats are nearly impossible to get your hands on; they always sell out and have racked up waitlists in the thousands.
