Family business Van Winkel Fashion: Shirt specialist since 1949
In the south of the Netherlands, nestled between Eindhoven and Weert lies Budel, the home base of shirt brand John Miller. Shirt specialist Van Winkel Fashion who was already established in Budel since 1949,
launched the brand in 1989.
Sjef van Winkel, founder of the family business Van Winkel Fashion, was always bothered by the untidy collars on shirts. Curling collar points, weak edges, and impractical buttons were a source of great frustration to him. “I can do better than that!” he must have thought back in 1949 when he founded the family business
Van Winkel Fashion.
Creation of John Miller in 1989In the 50s Van Winkel Fashion produced shirts mainly for the Dutch army. In the early 60s thousands of shirts per week were made for the large Dutch retailers such as C&A and HIJ. In 1963 Van Winkel Fashion took the huge step of launching Ledûb, their first shirt brand for the middle market. In 1989 the John Miller
brand was added for the higher end market.
The brand John Miller was created from the Van Winkel Fashion label Cotonissimo, that guaranteed luxury shirts made from 100% pure cotton provided by a European supplier. In 1989 the name John Miller was introduced with the additional words ‘Original Cotonissimo’. From the spring of 1995 the additional words
were dropped and the brand name became John Miller.

FAIR PRODUCTION

European Production
High-quality fabrics
The John Miller designers develop most of their fabrics themselves with European suppliers in order to guarantee high-quality products.
European Production Company
John Miller has its own production company in Macedonia with more than 185 employees. We are proud that the entire production process meets the stringent requirements of corporate social responsibility.
Finishing touch
In order to guarantee the high quality of each item there are checks in place between each process, any imperfections will be corrected. Then the shirt will be pressed in a cabin filled with steam. Each shirt is then
folded needleless by hand.
BlueSign label
We purchase materials exclusively from reliable suppliers who follow the guidelines for corporate social responsibility. A large part of the collection is made up of materials that we developed ourselves and which were woven by European partners. These luxurious fabrics with easy care finishing benefit from the BlueSign label, which means, among other things, that the water used for dying the fabric is cleaned and
returned to nature.
STANDARD 100 by OEKO-TEX® label
STANDARD 100 by OEKO-TEX® is one of the world’s best-known labels for textiles tested for harmful substances. It stands for customer confidence and high product safety. All John Miller shirts comply with the STANDARD 100 by OEKO-TEX® label. It means that every component of the fabric has been tested

In the interests of sustainability, we are striving to reduce the amount of packaging materials. We are also using socially responsible supplies. From the Spring of 2020 we will be using less plastic in the manufacturing of the shirts, only what is absolutely necessary to guarantee the quality of the shirt until it reaches the shop. Together we are working towards having less packaging material in the world and a cleaner environment.
