Peter Hahn
A quiet German label for a loud idea — everyday clothes in the best natural fibres, made to last.
Peter Hahn is a German quality label founded by Margit and Peter Hahn in Winterbach in 1964, beginning with coats, jackets, and blankets in llama hair before growing into a European house built on natural materials — cashmere, Supima cotton, silk, and linen. Not a couture house but a well-made, classic quality label of more than sixty years, it was acquired by the Wourth Group in 2024.
Winterbach, 1964. Begun
in llama hair.
Margit and Peter Hahn founded the house in Winterbach, Germany, in 1964, making coats, jackets and blankets from llama hair — a warm, light natural fibre that filled a real gap. From that beginning it grew into a European multichannel house built on the finest natural materials: cashmere, Supima cotton, silk and linen.
A note on what it is: Peter Hahn is not a couture house but a quality label — classic, well-made clothing in good fibres, sold for more than sixty years. It was acquired by the Wourth Group in 2024.
