Merz b. Schwanen

Berlin, Germany

One of our favorite knitwear purveyors is driven by a passion for traditional fabrication processes. The collection is composed of cotton and wool basics patterned after garments from the early 20th century. Their cotton basics are tube knit on vintage machines, increasing the comfort and longevity of the pieces. Founder and designer Peter Plotnicki is a workwear aficionado, and has a deep love for making clothes the old way.
