History

1955:  The beginning

In a small workshop, a team of 5 employees first made ties and mended socks. But they soon realized that bras are rare and highly sought after. They researched the market, and imagination and skill did the rest. In those days, bras were made of damask and brocade and were more cumbersome than today. Lisca became famous with the Majda bra, with which she became recognizable throughout Yugoslavia at the time.

1964: Entry into foreign markets

The demand for women's underwear was increasing and it was sometimes difficult to meet the market's needs. The company expanded, and special training courses for seamstresses and tailors were organized for specific knowledge... In 1964, Lisca successfully penetrated the German market, and soon after it began selling in other European countries, Africa, the USA and in Arabic peninsula.

1969: Swimwear

At the end of the 1960s, people went on vacation more and more often, and so Lisca also launched a swimsuit program. They incorporated the knowledge and experience gained in the design of linen into the fashion models, and the collection was not only comfortable, but also fashionable and interesting for both domestic customers and foreign customers.

1970: The first push up bra

In the early 1970s, Lisca introduced the push up bra for the first time. The Manuela bra fastened in the front and was one of the best-selling models until the 90s, and its ambassador was Miss Europe 1969 Saša Zajc.

1974: New production and storage facilities

1978: A revolution in ease

At the end of the seventies, another revolution took place - Lisca introduced bras with shaped cups, which was a great technological innovation at the time.

1988: Bold and colorful swimwear

Especially when it comes to swimwear, women could now afford more - strong colors and lively patterns, as well as daring models, prevailed. One of the innovations in swimwear was bottomless panties.
