    Cloth handkerchiefs by Alfred Pilz

    After the war, the company moved to Aalen, where it was quickly said: "Aalen wipes the world's nose" and "always a healthy nose ahead with Pilz handkerchiefs". The Pilz-Werke merged with the traditional Berlin company Pellens & Loick (Pelo) - our gift boxes therefore refer to both companies in an illustrative manner. Weaving and sewing was done in Aalen up until the 1980s, today in a small clothing factory in Hungary. Design, packaging and all the ironing, folding and laying still take place in Aalen.
