Merz b. Schwanen
Merz b. Schwanen is a Berlin-based clothing brand rooted in heritage, quality, and sustainability. With origins dating back to 1911, the brand was revived by designers Gitta and Peter Plotnicki, who discovered century-old loopwheel machines in Albstadt, Germany—remnants of the region's once-thriving textile industry. Known for blending timeless craftsmanship with modern sensibilities, Merz b. Schwanen’s collections emphasize simplicity, organic materials, and ethical production. Partnering with family-run manufacturers in Germany and Portugal, the brand remains committed to honoring the past while shaping a conscious future.
