Fragrance house

Manila Grace

Manila Grace began in 2004 as an Italian fashion-house project associated with Alessia Santi and Maurizio Setti, and its company was acquired and relaunched by Antress Industry in 2005. Developed from a ready-to-wear label, the brand expanded into accessories and other categories, including watches, leather goods, children’s wear, and a women’s fragrance. Alessia Santi was identified as a partner and creative driving force, with the accessories project strongly associated with her. Manila Grace entered fragrance in 2015 with its first women’s fragrance, presented as an extension of the fashion brand. After Antress Industry entered preventive composition proceedings in 2023, the Modena court approved the composition on 14 May 2024, and a court-supervised competitive sale transferred the company and Manila Grace trademark to Gruppo Casillo, which had taken over management of the women’s line in January of that year.
