Merz b. Schwanen
With the help of a traditional knitwear manufacturer based in the German Swabian Mountains, vintage fashion aficionado Peter Plotnicki revived the "old way of crafting clothes."

Driven by his passion for traditional fabrication processes, he and the team created a collection garments solely made by 1920s-1950s circular knitting machines. All tops are based on authentic working man's apparel ranging from the first decades of the 20th century to army shirts of the sixties - some slightly modified, some copied from the original piece down to the last seam.

Peter Plotnicki sets great store by the label "Made in Germany": the trimming's cotton fabrics, buttons, labels, hangtags, and packaging are German-made.
