Luxury starts with the first layer
At FRNKOW, family is at the heart of everything we do. Founded by siblings Nadja and Frank Lin, our brand is the realization of a shared dream: creating timeless, high-quality menswear and underwear with a focus on craftsmanship and ethical production.
As a small family business, we take pride in every detail, from design to final product.
Our menswear collection embodies exclusivity and refined simplicity.
Produced in very limited quantities in Germany and Italy, each piece is carefully developed in our own small atelier. This hands-on approach ensures a perfect blend of timeless style and meticulous craftsmanship.
At the core of FRNKOW lies our dedication to redefining men’s underwear. We believe that luxury starts with the first layer. By elevating underwear to a conscious choice, we offer men essentials that are sophisticated, comfortable, and thoughtfully designed.
Our underwear is made in close collaboration with a family-owned textile mill in Southern Germany – one of the last of its kind still operating a fully vertical production process. From fabric development and knitting on over 100 circular machines to dyeing, finishing, cutting, and packaging, nearly every step takes place under one roof.
Their team of around 150 specialists combines over a century of experience with meticulous attention to detail – a reflection of the same values that guide us at FRNKOW. Since the beginning, we’ve had the privilege of learning from their deep-rooted knowledge, dedication to craft, and the kind of precision only Swabian workmanship can deliver.
Committed to responsible manufacturing, the production site is certified with the OEKO-TEX® STANDARD 100, the Global Organic Textile Standard (GOTS), and was awarded the Gesicherte Nachhaltigkeit seal in 2022 – underscoring a shared belief in quality, transparency, and sustainable practices.
