Leonisa was founded in 1956 by Idalia Baez (Founder & CEO).
Leonisa is a distinguished manufacturer of women's intimate apparel, specializing in bras, shapewear, swimwear, and panties. The company differentiates itself through proprietary fabric technologies, including DuraFit, SkinFuse, PowerSlim, and SmartLace. Manufacturing its products in-house, primarily in Colombia, Leonisa maintains a vertically integrated approach, which facilitates stringent quality control and fosters continuous innovation in garment design and functional performance.
The company was founded on November 20, 1956, by brothers Joaquín and Julio Ernesto Urrea in Colombia. Their entrepreneurial vision recognized a significant market opportunity for high-quality intimate wear within Latin America. This led the brothers to establish a manufacturing enterprise focused on innovative apparel, notably pioneering the production of the first bra made in Colombia, addressing a previously unmet need in the region.
Leonisa serves a broad customer base, ranging from younger generations engaging with modern digital platforms to long-standing, loyal clientele across various global markets. The company’s overarching vision is to achieve worldwide recognition, guided by core values of empowerment, advanced technology, and product quality.
