Insights
In 1911, Balthasar Merz established a textile factory on the Swabian Alb in Germany. Then, a century on, after chancing upon a 90-year-old Henley shirt produced by the since defunct textile brand in a Berlin flea market, and finding true inspiration in its quality, Gitta and Peter Plotnicki sought to re-establish the historic name in 2011. Now, as then, the unique fabric of their garments is traditionally manufactured using original loop wheelers in Germany; with each one a product of both patience and artisanal craftmanship.
