Our Story

The story of MODUS VIVENDI is the culmination of a dream. A dream to go beyond limited choices.

Based in Thessaloniki, Greece, MODUS VIVENDI founded in December 1989 by the greek designer Christos Bibitsos as a more tailored approach to exclusive men's underwear, swimwear, athleisure and accessories.

All of our garments are designed and manufactured in Greece. From the high quality textiles, to the exclusive hand-design and luxurious packaging, expect nothing but the best.

The MODUS VIVENDI team works closely with specially selected partners to ensure that our quality is the best in the men’s underwear world. Throughout the decades we have developed our collections to offer a style to suit every preference, always using the finest fabrics for unparalleled softness and comfort.

Our Vision

The MV World draws inspiration from our vision: to deliver a new experience in men’s underwear fashion with the Way of Life. We want you to set new standards and express yourself and your diversity starting with your underwear. We break norms in fashion and bring fun in the design of men's underwear, leaving behind the traditional and plain boring underwear.
