Spanish fashion brand pivoting to Shopify-powered direct-to-consumer
LOLA CASADEMUNT is a Barcelona-based fashion house founded in 1981, now mid-migration from PrestaShop to Shopify while aggressively optimizing conversion funnels. The hiring surge is almost entirely sales-focused (17 of 24 open roles), paired with heavy investment in analytics (GA4, Hotjar, Optimizely) — a pattern typical of brands attempting to unlock growth through e-commerce velocity rather than wholesale expansion.
LOLA CASADEMUNT designs and sells women's apparel and accessories through two collections: LOLA CASADEMUNT BY MAITE (premium, trend-forward) and Lola Collection (everyday ready-to-wear). Based in Cardedeu near Barcelona and publicly traded, the company operates a multichannel model spanning retail, social commerce (Instagram, TikTok, Pinterest), and e-commerce. Leadership passed from founder Doña Lola Casademunt to her daughter Maite Gassó (President), with Fernando Espona (Chairman) and Paco Sánchez (CEO) rounding out the executive trio. The brand has cultivated editorial presence in Vogue, Telva, and Woman, alongside partnerships with broadcasters and influencers.
Shopify (in migration), PrestaShop (legacy), SAP, Figma, Google Analytics 4, Hotjar, Optimizely, Microsoft 365, Power Platform, and Meta/Instagram/TikTok/Pinterest for social.
Active Shopify migration paired with conversion funnel optimization signals a shift toward higher-velocity e-commerce. Sales hiring surge suggests push for DTC growth and omnichannel order fulfillment.
