We have made it our mission to revolutionize the textile industry. Our goal is to combine sustainability with fair working conditions and fair prices.
About our team

Years of experience with textile production
We started with the sustainable fashion label Vresh back in 2012 & since then we have repeatedly accompanied merchandise projects. Since 2017 we are officially in the game with Das Merch.
Employees in production
We currently employ around 30 full-time employees in our offices in Linz and Fafe as well as in the production facilities of our partners - and the number is increasing.
Satisfied customers (as of 03.25)
Why doesn't it say 100%? Because that's not the truth. We do our best with every project, but, as with all physical products, not everything always goes perfectly. However, we always strive to find a satisfactory solution with our customers.
Completed projects since 2020
We have been supplying the world with fair and sustainable merchandise since 2017. Every year, a few hundred projects are added and each one contributes to making the textile industry a little bit better.

If an idea is conceivable. Then it is feasible for us.
When we started in 2012, one thing was immediately clear to us: we want to do it BETTER! That's why only sustainable, fair production was an option for us. From the very beginning, we didn't want to have anything to do with exploitation, unfair pay, environmental pollution, etc. To this day, we have not budged one millimeter from this conviction. Because we know very well what we want to do: To change the textile industry!
About our team

Shop - showroom - office
After 12 years in Eferding, it was time for a change of scenery in 2018. Together with the architect Duo Claus & Gregor, we launched the project “Vresh & Das Merch. Space” at Tabakfabrik Linz. We chose these two architects because it was important to us that we not only have a beautiful interior design, but that our story and brands are represented with a focus on sustainability. Since we wanted to keep our CO2 emissions as low as possible, we tried to recycle everything and buy second-hand. Regardless of whether you are interested in our products or sustainability, you should definitely visit us in our new space.
CEO & Founder
Tirelessly because he fell into the coffee kettle as a small child. Almost trained marine biologist, not only breeds fish but also lots of ideas and creates a fun atmosphere in the office. He is also a hobby soccer player and food blogger.


Design & account management
Originally trained in interior design and furniture making, Valerie now supports the design and account management team! Instead of sitting on the couch, she designs the most creative merch socks. Valerie is also very sociable and active in various clubs! There's never a dull moment in the office with her, because there always has to be a bit of fun.
Account Management
Our haven of peace and at the same time she keeps an eye on everything. Not only has she been a vegetarian for half her life, she also bakes delicious blueberry cake, which the whole team has become addicted to. Likes to find inner peace at yoga retreats and is very interested in interior design. She doesn't go on winter vacations, because Eva says “nee ne” to snow, cold weather and winter!


Head of Account Management
Für Philipp stehen Harmonie im Team, gemeinsame Stärken zu nutzen, klare Kommunikation und gute Vibes an erster Stelle. Nach spannenden Stationen im Handel, im Start-up und im Konzern bringt er viel Erfahrung in Kundensupport, People Development und Organisationsentwicklung mit und weiß, wie man Teams stärkt, Prozesse optimiert und den Arbeitsalltag angenehmer gestaltet. Seinen Ausgleich findet er bei ausgiebigen (Trail-)Runs, bei Live-Konzerten und der Zeit mit seiner Familie, die er am liebsten in der Natur genießt.
Head of Marketing
Starting out as a social media guru, Nati is now an all-rounder when it comes to marketing - from content marketing to website maintenance, she brings fresh ideas and creative concepts to the table! In her free time, she likes to relax with a book, explore nature or try out new recipes. Thanks to Nati, our marketing stays creative, green and always on the move!Bianca beeindrucken möchte, bringt Lachgummi mit! Ansonsten startet ihr perfekter Arbeitstag mit einem guten Cappuccino (Hafermilch) und der Gewissheit einer klaren Struktur. Sie ist stark in Organisation und Projektmanagement und liebt klare Abläufe, die sie in alle Prozesse bringt. Mit ihrer digitalen Expertise sorgt sie dafür, dass unser "Schaufenster" glänzt und Das Merch. die richtigen Kund*innen erreicht. Privat dreht sich alles um ihren Traummann und ihre kleine Maus. Der nötige Ausgleich? Bianca läuft! Da muss sie zur Abwechslung mal an nichts denken.


Office Administration
The doer, that's how we would describe her. Denise doesn't ask questions for long - she just does it! When chaos breaks out in the camp, Denise comes and fixes everything. She gets her energy from her evening running sessions and passes it on to her little nephews, among others. And she also graphically illustrates any merch ideas with great taste - that's for sure!
Design & Account Management
Eigentlich heißt er Christian, aber wer seine Aufmerksamkeit will, ruft am besten „Grilli“. Für ihn sind ein harmonisches Team und gute Vibes die Basis für starke Ideen. Den richtigen Takt gibt er nicht nur im Job vor: Seit seiner Jugend sorgt er als Schlagzeuger in diversen Bands für den richtigen Groove. Als design affiner Kulturwissenschaftler mit Agenturerfahrung und Know-How in der “Schwarzen Kunst” verbindet er meisterhaft Ästhetik mit Struktur. Seinen Ausgleich findet er auf dem Golfplatz, bei der NFL oder in der Natur mit Hündin Paula. Am besten entspannt er aber in geselliger Runde mit Freunden und seiner Familie: Hier wird leidenschaftlich gekocht, gut gegessen und mit einem funky Naturwein oder besonderen Bier angestoßen.
Salute!


Our producers in Portugal.
