¡Pagadita Te Ves Más Bonita! – Our New Collection Launch in Honor of Latina Equal Pay Day
Latina Equal Pay Day is right around the corner on October 3rd, and what better way to honor this important date than with the launch of our new collection: Pagadita te Ves Más Bonita. At Más Bonita, we’re all about flipping the script, and this collection is no exception. It’s a celebration of our worth, a reminder to never settle for less than what we deserve, and a statement of empowerment for every Latina out there.
Why "Pagadita Te Ves Más Bonita"?
We all grew up hearing the phrase "Calladita te ves más bonita"—that infamous saying that urged us to stay quiet, not cause trouble, and fall in line. Pero ya no.
It’s time to change the narrative, and that’s exactly what we’re doing with Pagadita Te Ves Más Bonita. We believe that when we’re paid what we’re worth, we truly glow. When we speak up for what we deserve, we are empowered, and there’s nothing more beautiful than that.
The reality is that Latinas, on average, make only 57 cents for every dollar paid to a white, non-Hispanic man in the U.S. That’s not just a statistic—a statistic that directly impacts our rent, groceries, tuition, and even our ability to build generational wealth. Latina Equal Pay Day marks how far into the year we have to work just to catch up to what others made the year before.
Yes, you read that correctly. It's been a reminder of the challenges we face but also a call to action to demand more.
Flipping the Conversation
At Más Bonita, we’re all about using fashion and self-expression to distribute powerful messages. The Pagadita Te Ves Más Bonita collection isn’t just a line of products—it’s a movement. Each item, from our t-shirts to mugs and stickers, carries an empowering message that reminds us that our worth is not up for debate. It’s time to take up space, fight for pay equity, and own the fact that we deserve to be compensated fairly for the work we do.
¿Cuántas veces nos hemos quedado calladas, hesitant to negotiate for a raise or feeling afraid to ask for what we truly deserve? We’ve all been there. But now we’re here to tell you: ask for more. Fight for what’s yours. Whether it’s at work, at home, or anywhere else, you deserve fair pay and recognition. Y cuando te lo den, flaunt it, to let others know that it is possible!
What’s in the Collection?
The Pagadita te ves más bonita collection features bold, simple designs that speak volumes. Here’s a little sneak peek:

- Mugs: Start your day with a reminder of your value. Ya sea café en la mañana o té por la tarde, these mugs will keep you grounded in your worth.
- Tote Bags: Carry your essentials in style with our Pagadita tote bags, perfect for reminding the world you're worth every cent. Practical, stylish, and powerful.
A Collective Power
One of the biggest challenges we face as Latinas is the cultural tendency to stay humble and avoid "asking for too much." We’re often taught to be grateful for what we’re given, and if we’re not, we are called malagradecidas. It’s time to change that mindset. As we launch this collection, we want to start a larger conversation in our community about salary transparency, negotiation, and standing up for ourselves. Because when one Latina wins, we all win.
This collection isn’t just about selling products. It’s about starting a movement. It’s about standing together as Latinas, demanding that our voices be heard and our contributions be valued. We’re here to change the system, not just for us, but for the next generation of Latinas who will come after us.
How You Can Get Involved
Believe in what Pagadita Te Ves Más Bonita stands for? There are many ways to support us beyond buying the collection. Join the conversation. Share your own stories about wage inequality, encourage others to negotiate, and most importantly, vote for leaders who support pay equity.
Final Thoughts
At Más Bonita, we believe that when we lift each other up, we all rise. The Pagadita Te Ves Más Bonita collection is more than just a new product line—it’s the start of a movement where Latinas are seen, heard, and paid what they deserve. Together, we can work to make sure future generations of Latinas no longer have to wait until October to be paid what they’re worth.
So, let’s wear our pay equity on our sleeves—literally. Let’s remind the world that when we’re paid what we’re worth, somos imparables.
Ponte pagadita, ponte bonita.
