From Venetian braghesse to today: the solution you didn’t know you were looking for is under the skirt, and it was born in Vicenza

Under a skirt, often something simple is missing: a beautiful and truly functional garment that avoids daily embarrassment and discomfort.

In Vicenza, Rose&Leoni was born precisely for this reason: not to create a new need, but to solve one that mainstream fashion has left in the background.

The garment is called Levantina: shorts to be worn under skirts, designed for comfort, decoration, and discretion. Wind, stairs, street grates, and thigh friction no longer dictate what you choose to wear. There’s no need to rely on improvised solutions made for other purposes and often worn reluctantly.

For Rose&Leoni quality is not a slogan. Production is entrusted exclusively to Venetian artisans and uses only Italian materials, with great attention to fit and details that matter when a garment must be worn for hours: soft elastics, lightweight certified fabrics, delicate finishes.

And then there’s the cultural context: the echo of Venetian ‘braghesse’, which between the Renaissance and subsequent centuries appeared in the wardrobe of the Serenissima. An inspiration that today becomes a modern, concrete, everyday format.

Sometimes innovation isn’t loud, it simply removes a daily annoyance and replaces it with something you actually want to wear.

About Rose&Leoni

Rose&Leoni is a small Italian brand founded in Vicenza by Elisa.

The project stems from a reinterpretation of historical Venetian undergarments (braghesse) with a modern perspective: Levantina, lightweight, elegant shorts designed to be worn under skirts and dresses.

This garment isn’t a trend, it’s a practical solution that unites comfort, aesthetics, and Italian craftsmanship.

What is Levantina

Levantina is a pair of shorts intended to be worn under skirts and dresses. It’s designed to offer freedom of movement, everyday comfort and a refined stylistic touch.

They are produced exclusively by local artisans using Italian materials (certified OEKO-TEX® STANDARD 100 fabrics) and combine contemporary design with subtle Venetian historical references.

The Founder

Founder of Rose&Leoni and creator of Levantina, before launching the brand, Elisa worked nearly a decade in Milan across fashion and advertising, specializing in digital retouching for high-profile editorials and campaigns including Dior, Max Mara, Vogue Italia, Wallpaper Magazine, and Dior Magazine.

Returning to Vicenza, she realized that despite fashion’s gleam, something practical was missing from everyday wardrobes. Instead of continuing to retouch others’ garments, she created one: transforming her own wardrobe gap into Levantina and founding Rose&Leoni.
