About the job

CALIDA as an Employer
As one of Europe’s leading lingerie brands since its founding in 1941, CALIDA has focused on sustainability – long before it became trendy. Because sustainability should not be a fashion, but a promise. That is why we still pursue the goal of producing the best quality. In every single piece, for every day, for every night, for big and small. Making the best lingerie also means for us not producing it at the expense of future generations. To achieve this forward-looking goal, it takes you, us, all people in this world who want to make a difference together.
