The heritage

for today!

While the GOOD ORIGINALS took center stage during the ARTE documentary we've proudly been a part of, the GOOD BASICS are in no way inferior. As Merz b. Schwanen's owners Gitta and Peter Plotnicki put it: "We connect our heritage with the demands of the present while acting responsibly for a positive future."

Characterized by more contemporary styles and relaxed fits, the pieces of the GOOD BASICS line are all responsibly made in Portugal. They are certainly sharing the same core values as the styles made in our German production site: each piece is manufactured by people who genuinely care about their craft and are made of high-quality, sustainable materials.

Complementing the GOOD ORIGINALS' timeless styles such as easy-going T-shirts and authentic henleys, the GOOD BASICS even diversify the range of good everyday styles with modern iterations and cozy yet cool knitwear pieces.

Easy hoodie, comfy turtleneck pullover, or loose T-shirt? It's all here, and it's all made with the same passion you'd expect from Merz b. Schwanen!
