History of Wolford
Wolford is a premium Austrian brand best known for its luxury hosiery, lingerie, and bodywear. It was
founded in 1950 in Bregenz, Austria, by Reinhold Wolff and Walter Palmers. Originally focused on
producing fine stockings, the company quickly built a reputation for quality, innovation, and
craftsmanship, especially through its use of circular knitting technology. This technique gave its
garments a seamless, second-skin feel, setting Wolford apart in the fashion world.
Over the
decades, Wolford expanded its product line to include shapewear, ready-to-wear clothing, and
accessories, often blending high-end aesthetics with functional design. The brand has collaborated
with renowned designers and has maintained a strong presence in luxury fashion markets worldwide.
Today, Wolford is recognized not only for its elegant, timeless styles but also for its commitment
to sustainability and technical innovation in textile development.
