Fashion brands from Germany

This directory lists 494 fashion brands from Germany. Premium and contemporary labels make up by far the largest group, followed by footwear, bags, accessories and eyewear, and sportswear and outdoor. Most brands are positioned in the mid-market, with a strong premium tier and a small value segment. Berlin, Hamburg, Munich and Cologne are the main centres, and Metzingen also appears as a headquarters town.

German fashion is strongly wholesale-oriented: most brands sell through retail partners, a large majority run their own e-commerce, and own stores play a smaller role. Owner groups include the Wortmann Group, Betty Barclay Group, FOND OF and HUGO BOSS. Notable names include Birkenstock, Rieker and Berkemann in footwear, the glove and accessories maker Roeckl, the jewellers Christ and Niessing, the underwear brand Schiesser and Ulla Popken.
