The van Laack clothing company in Berlin, in particular, benefits from this development. At the same time, van Laack becomes one of the first brand-name products in the fashion industry. The classic van Laack logo was developed with the slogan “van Laack – the royal shirt”. The material used for the three-hole buttons, which were developed by Heinrich van Laack, is further improved. Today’s brand success is based on the range of characteristic van Laack product features developed at this time.
