Rebecca Matthias started Mothers Work from scratch out of her home
with a little money and a lot of determination and drive. Now Rebecca is the
president and founder of a multi-million dollar, publicly traded company.
Founded in 1982 as a catalog business, Mothers Work, Inc has grown to
become the world's largest maternity apparel retailer with more than 1,500
locations. Since the time of its initial public offering in March 1993, Mothers Work
has grown as a result of the addition of new stores, the acquisition of existing
maternity stores, new brands, increased sales volume and most importantly,
a great group of team members!
Mothers Work team members are amazing people who energize, inspire
and innovate. Everyone is approachable. No one works in isolated compartments,
but rather everyone is part of cross-departmental teams with every member
free to develop the next big idea. It's our open environment and support of a
team approach that has helped us to . quite literally . give birth to the modern
maternity apparel market.

Rebecca Matthias saw a need for fashionable maternity clothing. Her instinct was
right on and now her team has revolutionized maternity retail. Humble beginnings
have been exchanged for four specialty maternity brands, including A Pea in the Pod® ,
Mimi Maternity® , Motherhood Maternity® and Destination Maternity® and two
exclusive brands Two HeartsTM and Oh Baby!TM By Motherhood. We've opened our
Destination Maternity flagship in New York City and have gone online with
Destinationmaternity.com an expectant mom's one stop shop for the latest fashions
from all brands, as well as dot.coms for each brand. And, we've extended our
mission of making pregnant women look good to making them feel good with the
opening of luxurious EdamameTM Maternity Spas.
From humble beginnings to the world's leading authority on maternity fashion, this is a
team that understands how to get the mom-to-be what she wants, when she wants it!
