Merz b. Schwanen is a Berlin-based clothing brand rooted in heritage, quality, and sustainability. With origins dating back to 1911, the brand was revived by designers Gitta and Peter Plotnicki, who discovered century-old loopwheel machines in Albstadt, Germany—remnants of the region's once-thriving textile industry. Known for blending timeless craftsmanship with modern sensibilities, Merz b. Schwanen’s collections, including the iconic Good Originals and Good Basics, emphasize simplicity, organic materials, and ethical production. Partnering with family-run manufacturers in Germany and Portugal, the brand remains committed to honoring the past while shaping a conscious future.

This fabric is 1-thread cotton and not as opaque as the styles made of 2-thread cotton (article number beginning with '2' such as 215): please note that it might be considered a little see-through in color 01 white or other light colors. Due to the traditional manufacturing process, this 1-thread fabric sometimes shows so-called 'calender creases' in white and natural colors. This uneven appearance is a characteristic feature. These creases vary in appearance and may last permanently.
