Merz b. Schwanen is a textile manufacturer based upon the legacy of its namesake and 31 unique circular knitting machines. After several years of disuse, Rudolf Loder, Gitta and Peter Plotnicki reinstated the brand to its original glory in 2011. Once again Merz b. Schwanen is crafting distinct garments using production processes all native to Germany, where sewing is performed by independent manufacturers in the Swabian Alps, labels are loomed on a traditional Jaquard loom from the 19th century, and even the boxes are produced by a family business following the original designs. These authentic production processes turn every single Merz b. Schwanen garment into something personal and unique – filled with passion and appreciation from every man and woman involved.
