Falke is a premium German brand of clothing and hosiery that is made from the finest materials, designed to complement individual  lifestyles and perfected with handcrafted details. The family-run company was founded by Franze Falke in 1895 and it is headquartered in the Sauerland town of Schammelenberg. When Franze Falke began his company it was a small knitting business producing two dozen socks daily. Over the years it grew and changed along with the world. It is now the home to over 3,000 employees and exports to more than 30 countries around the world. Though the company grew and changed, the family stuck beside it along the way. Fourth generation Falkes now run the business. Franze Falke's great-grandsons, Franze-Peter and Paul Falke manage the entire company. Falke is known as an international clothing, hosiery and lifestyle company, but in the States the brand is mainly recognized for their socks, hosiery and tights.
