Ant 45

ANT45 is the contemporary offshoot of Calzificio Bonadei, a family-owned hosiery firm founded in 1945 and based in Brescia, Italy—a region renowned for its deep-rooted tradition in sock-making. The name ANT45 pays homage both to the year of the company’s founding and to its ethos: disciplined, methodical craftsmanship, akin to the industriousness of ants. With over 70 years of experience, ANT45 embodies in-house production at every stage—from selecting only certified Italian yarns to knitting, ironing, washing, and manual packaging—all carried out in their own factory in Brescia, ensuring uncompromised quality and vertical integration.
