AMBRA
The elegance of Italian craftsmanship
Since 1988, we have been creating lingerie born from a heritage of experience that began in the 1960s. Each collection is the result of a manufacturing culture built over time, where tradition, research and innovation come together to create garments designed to last.
We design and manufacture every piece in Alba, in the heart of Piedmont, interpreting femininity through balance, refinement and an absolute focus on fit.
For us, luxury is not about ostentation. It is the quality that is recognised at first glance and confirmed every time a garment is worn.
Our history
The story of AMBRA began long before the brand itself was founded. In the early 1960s, Giuseppe Toppino and Margherita Anfossi took their first steps into the world of Italian corsetry, developing an experience that, year after year, became a heritage of technical expertise, stylistic sensitivity and product knowledge.
After more than twenty-five years spent collaborating with some of the most important companies in the industry, AMBRA was founded in 1988. Not to follow a trend, but to bring to life a precise vision of lingerie: elegant, comfortable and authentically Italian.
Since then, every collection has represented the natural evolution of that same philosophy.

The name
AMBRA is a name that embodies our identity.
The letters AM are dedicated to Anfossi Margherita, the woman who played a fundamental role in the creation of the company and in the values that continue to guide it today.
BRA, a term recognised throughout the world, refers to the bra and to the specialisation that has always been at the heart of our business.
Family tradition and manufacturing expertise come together in a simple, international and deeply Italian name.
Italian craftsmanship
Every AMBRA garment is created through a production process that combines artisanal expertise with contemporary technologies.
Pattern making, size development, prototyping, quality controls and continuous research into the perfect fit are the core of our work.
Technologies evolve. Experience, however, is built over time. It is precisely this human heritage that makes every AMBRA collection recognisable.
The search for materials
Every detail contributes to the quality of a garment. That is why we select only materials sourced from the finest European textile manufacturers.
Italian embroideries, Calais Leavers lace, Swiss macramé, cutting-edge technical fabrics, Italian silks and high-quality accessories are carefully chosen to offer elegance, comfort and durability.
For us, beauty always begins with quality.
Alba
Our home is Alba. A city where work still represents a culture before being an economic activity.
Surrounded by the hills of the Langhe, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, it preserves values that deeply reflect our own: respect for time, attention to detail and a passion for everything created with expertise.
This is where every collection takes shape. And this is where it continues to be designed.
The AMBRA woman
We do not chase passing trends. We design lingerie created to accompany women over time.
Essential lines, balanced proportions, precious materials and impeccable fit come together to create collections that enhance femininity without excess.
Every garment is made to be experienced. Before being admired.
Looking ahead
To innovate means respecting what has brought us this far. That is why we continue to invest in research, material development, production technologies and pattern making, while preserving the most important value of our company: the knowledge and expertise of our people.
Because quality does not come from machines. It comes from the hands, experience and passion of those who continue to build the story of AMBRA every day.
