Founded in 1911 by Balthasar Merz, the brand began in Germany’s Swabian Albs, once a thriving hub of textile production.

Merz b. Schwanen designs and crafts original, consciously made clothing for those who appreciate quality materials and timeless design. This family-run, Berlin-based business is driven by steadfast values of heritage, integrity and sustainability. And, of course, the often-unsung heroes, patience and simplicity.

To this day the brand crafts the Worlds best T-Shirts on vintage loopwheel machines in Germany.
