Oniverse

Oniverse, formerly Gruppo Calzedonia, is an Italian fashion and retail conglomerate founded in 1986 by Sandro Veronesi in Verona. What began as a single hosiery shop has grown into a vertically integrated group with over 5,700 mono-brand stores across 55 countries. The company rebranded to Oniverse in 2022 to reflect its transformation into a multibrand international player, moving beyond the original Calzedonia identity.

The group's portfolio spans multiple market segments. Calzedonia remains the flagship for hosiery and swimwear, while Intimissimi and Intimissimi Uomo cover lingerie and men's underwear. Tezenis targets a younger, budget-conscious crowd, and Falconeri offers premium cashmere and wool. Atelier Emé focuses on bridal and occasion wear, Antonio Marras brings designer fashion, Signorvino sells wine, and Cantiere del Pardo builds superyachts. This diversification is a deliberate strategy, spreading risk and capturing different demographics.

Oniverse is privately held, with Veronesi still at the helm as chairman. The company emphasizes sustainability and long-term value, stating on its website that it aims to build something lasting in respect of the economic, social, and natural environment. In fiscal 2025, revenue reached €3.7 billion, up 4.8% from the prior year, with exports contributing €2.3 billion. The group's expansion continues with plans for two export-focused factories in Egypt by 2027 and a flagship Intimissimi and Falconeri store on Chicago's Michigan Avenue, announced in early 2026.
