Fifty years
of experience
in the sector.

For over 20 years we distribute under the Carrera Jeans brand underwear, hosiery and technical garments with a single goal: excellent quality at prices the market can afford.

Founded in
Our story
From Quinzano d'Oglio
to Europe and Extra-EU markets.

Our history takes root in January 1972, in Quinzano d'Oglio, in the heart of lower Brescia. Born from the intuition of a family of entrepreneurs now in its third generation, it immediately pursued a clear and ambitious goal: to become a strategic partner and key supplier for the Italian and European large-scale retail sector in the textile accessories segment.

Over the decades, we have developed a broad and articulated specialization, ranging from socks and everyday underwear to swimwear, sportswear, and technical workwear — products designed to accompany people at every moment of their day.

At the heart of everything, however, there has always been human capital. Our company's growth is built on non-negotiable values: deep respect for every employee and collaborator, constant and transparent synergy with clients, and mutual loyalty built over time, day after day.

For over fifty years, what sets us apart in the market is our ability to find the perfect balance between high product quality and an intelligent price — because this is our philosophy.
