Founded in 2020 in Brescia, Italy, ANT45 is the contemporary evolution of Calzificio Bonadei, a historic hosiery manufacturer established in 1945. Co-founded by Michele Lazzari, Elena Cerroni, and Aisha Salam, the brand bridges three generations of industrial expertise with a modern, design-led philosophy. The name pays homage to the parent company’s founding year and the industrious nature of the ant—symbolizing the methodical, tireless dedication behind their craft.
