Behind The Label

The brand's origins trace back to 1911 when it first started producing garments in Berlin, a legacy abruptly halted by the family's descendants. In 2011, Gitta & Peter Plotnicki stumbled upon a vintage Henley t-shirt from the brand at a market, prompting them to acquire the company along with its rare loop wheel machines. Recognizing the opportunity for innovation, Gitta & Peter have since established a reputation for sustainably producing high-quality garments. The original discovery continues to inspire their designs today, showcasing the brand's deep heritage that resonates with a wide audience.
