- A flea market Henley from 1911 sparked a revival. Designers Gitta and Peter Plotnicki uncovered century-old loopwheelers in the Swabian Alps, bringing Merz b. Schwanen back to life with a focus on timeless, workwear-inspired style. The Good Originals line honours vintage craftsmanship, while the modern Good Basics range fuses organic materials and practical design for everyday wear. It’s not just clothing; it’s a dedication to sustainability and heritage, made to last.
