What the product page says

On 31 July 2026 the Lano lyocell-blend shirt was checked, red and white striped, style Lano-W, €230 and €120 on sale, 93% lyocell and 7% ramie.

A country of manufacture appears nowhere. No country of manufacture appears on the page, nor in the data sheet behind it. Structured product data is present; no origin field is among it.

The address that looks like an answer

There is, however, a collapsible panel headed “Manufacturer”, and it reads:

Produzent: Strellson AG, Sonnenwiesenstrasse 21, 8280 Kreuzlingen, Schweiz
Bevollmächtigter: Strellson GmbH, Line-Eid-Str. 6, 78467 Konstanz, Deutschland
Producer / Authorised representative (German shop)

Read quickly, you have found your origin here: Switzerland. That is a mistake.

Those entries appear because of the European product safety regulation. It requires a responsible economic operator to be named with an address — someone who stands behind the product and can be reached. It does not require that this operator made the product, and it says nothing about the place of manufacture.

“Producer” is the form’s label, not the description of a workshop. The two rarely coincide.

Why this matters to us

Since these entries became mandatory, addresses appear on a great many product pages — and they are regularly read as proof of origin. For a brand telling a story of “130 years” and a Swiss base, the short circuit is especially inviting.

We therefore list Windsor expressly as “nothing stated”. That is no reproach: the company has made a mandatory disclosure correctly. It simply answers a different question.

The same distinction sits on our overview, because it reaches beyond Windsor.

Where the disclosure ends

The country of manufacture — for this and every other item checked.

A factory or supplier list; none is linked on the pages checked.

And the founding year.

The brand narrative speaks of “130 years” but names no date. We do not calculate one.

How we checked

We went through the product page and the company pages by hand, opening every collapsible panel individually. All quotations appear in the brand’s own wording; figures and fields were verified against the page source. The date of each check is given with the source.

What we can document

  • Lano lyocell-blend shirt, style Lano-W, €230 and €120 on sale, checked on 31 July 2026
  • Material 93% lyocell, 7% ramie
  • No origin statement: zero hits for “Made in”, “Hergestellt in”, “Ursprungsland” and “Herstellungsland”
  • In the “Manufacturer” panel: “Produzent: Strellson AG, Sonnenwiesenstrasse 21, 8280 Kreuzlingen, Schweiz” and “Bevollmächtigter: Strellson GmbH, Line-Eid-Str. 6, 78467 Konstanz, Deutschland”
  • Structured product data present, without an origin field
  • Brand narrative with “130 years” and a Swiss base, without a date

What we cannot

  • The country of manufacture; the addresses under “Manufacturer” are mandatory entries under EU product safety rules and no proof of origin
  • A factory or supplier list; none is linked on the pages checked
  • The founding year; only “130 years” is stated
  • We could not retrieve the pages ourselves

Questions readers ask

Where is Windsor made?

The product page does not say. There is no origin statement, neither visible nor in the source.

But there is a Swiss address under “Manufacturer”?

Yes, and it is not an origin statement. EU product safety rules require a responsible economic operator to be named with an address — who is liable, not where it was made.

Is that a breach?

No. The mandatory entry is made correctly. It simply answers a different question than the one about the place of manufacture.

Is there a factory list?

None is linked on the pages checked.
