Company Profile
MANICARDI SERGIO S.R.L. is an Italian company that has made craftsmanship the heart of its corporate philosophy. Over the years, we have created a unique style focused on design, comfort, and quality. The company, based in Modena, was founded in 1961 when a young Mrs. Manicardi, after gaining experience in the underwear industry as a pattern maker, decided to start the business with her husband, Sergio.
The very first bra was a real success! At the time, the range consisted of just three models, all in high demand. The original workshop soon became too small, leading to the opening of the company’s first factory.
In the late 1970s, the company introduced its first matching lingerie set featuring stretch lace—an innovative concept—alongside new designs that proved highly successful abroad. This marked the beginning of partnerships with major department stores, including Galeries Lafayette, La Rinascente and Coin.
In the mid-1980s, the two sons joined the company, the company began exporting to Europe and the old "Magic Form" brand was replaced by the current "Leilieve". In 2000, the company opened its current facility, where the collections are conceived, designed, and produced. Thanks to our team, the implementation of the latest technological innovations, and our 60 years of experience in "MADE IN ITALY," we are able to preserve our artisanal spirit while exporting our products worldwide.
Our lingerie is sold in Italy and abroad. Leilieve distributors operate in over 15 countries. Our products are specially designed for modern and elegant women who want to stay up-to-date with the latest trends. We cater to those seeking comfort and select fabrics, innovative materials, refined design, and a perfect fit.
Our product range includes: bras with and without underwire, with padded or push-up cups, graduated cups B-C-D-E, briefs, thongs, culottes, bodysuits, basques and babydolls, with a vast assortment of models, colors and materials.
