Merz b. Schwanen’s origins date back over a century. Based on original cuts and high quality materials ever since, the brand still lives on these values. Moreover the unique past is connected with modern, contemporary designs, good materials and thoughtful details. All this, the use of eco-friendly materials of the highest standards and socially as well as environmentally responsible production methods round up what Merz b. Schwanen is all about: making good things with good people for good people and sharing all that is good.
