The best fashion and gift stores German-Speaking Switzerland

A visit to the store of the famous Zurich bag brand is an absolute must. And not only for fashion victims. The tower of the Freitag Shop was built from 19 shipping containers, from the top of which you can admire the Zürich-West district. The Freitag brothers are from Zurich and make their bags from used truck tarpaulins in the neighbourhood. Recycling has made the fortune of these avant-garde designers and launched a concept, emblematic of the city's creative vitality. A wide range of wallets, iPhone and iPad covers...

Patricia Gottet creates highly original and unique resin jewelry. Not one of her rings resembles the next. She blends natural elements into her creations, such as wood and wool. There's something magical about wearing one-of-a-kind pieces in chosen colors. Without being unconventional, it enhances your personality. The jewelry is harmonious and breathes nature, with the choice of noble materials like wood. If the size or color doesn't suit you, she'll be happy to create a custom piece for you.

This store is THE place to go for fans of Freitag bags, whose official store is just a few blocks away. The Gloss offers a small selection of bags at 50% off, all year round and on current season models. These items are supposed to have a defect to qualify for such a discount, but we couldn't find one! The rest of the store's assortment offers everything new and different, from jeans and tops to a selection of colorful and fun headphones.
