"Alfred Pilz" handkerchiefs

The classic handkerchief in a particularly fine weave and with a white atlas edge is an indispensable companion for men in the past as it is today - and is also popular as a pocket square. Here with the traditional company logo of Alfred Pilz - the fly agaric. Do you remember?

Handkerchiefs from PELO and Alfred Pilz

Our handkerchiefs come from the tradition of "Alfred Pilz" from the Bohemian Hohenelbe and Pellens & Loick (PELO) from Berlin-Schöneberg. Both merged in 1947 in Aalen, Baden-Württemberg, and continue to produce the finest handkerchiefs, true to the motto "Aalen cleans the world's nose".

Like in old times

"We remember the time when the lady received a bar of chocolate and the gentleman a box of brandy-filled chocolates as a gift. However, if it was to be something more, one could not overlook the classic of small gestures: the fabric handkerchief."

Tip: Fine linen

The difference between fine linen and "ordinary" linen is literally at hand. It can be seen - and felt. Our linen comes from a weaving mill in the Netherlands as well as from a linen weaving mill in Lithuania.
