The young very tall guy that took care of us was so nice , and so patient while my daughter and I chose the perfect cuckoo clock ! It was a wonderful experience ! We loved him !!! We had the clock delivered and upon delivery one of the chains Came loose .. we called and spoke to Christian the owner who was wonderful and so patient .. he walked my husband through each step and how to connect the chain back onto the wheel ! I love this store and I'm so glad that I returned 40 years later with my daughter ! If In Zurich this is the place to get all your souvenirs! Thank you so much for keeping my memory alive ! Thank you from New York !

Edelweiss Shop is conveniently located inside Zurich Train Station…read more Great if you want to pick up some last minute souvenir and in my case some leftover Swiss Franc I wanted to spend. Chocolate? Key Chain? Fluffy? and even a Swiss Army Knives. Nothing really "special" but good enough quality to make the recipients be happy. If you want to get the limited edition knives though, you won't find it here. Mission completed and able to spend all my coins and even some more!

Let's be honest, the product sells itself. The displays of goods in this shop is spectacular, lined…read moreup by colors and items. The products are made of recycled durable tarps from delivery trucks and shipping containers. Each item is quite a bit different and unique. The idea is genius, using items that have been used but still appealing to the eye and indestructible with daily use. We stopped in to buy iPhone sleeves, which are a very cool idea in its own right. They offer an assortment of wallets, bags, pencil cases, phone cases, and messenger bags. Pretty cool assortment. Customer service is quite high on the list of how many stars an establishment deserves. The products here are definitely 5 stars, however, service is subpar. This stunning looking staff appear to be quite self absorbed, knowing that Freutag will walk out the door with buyers without the assistance of those who work there. Three star rating is based on service alone.

Fantastic little shop in Zurich. Mostly oriented towards people who like to work on puzzles, as…read morewell as small and young children. Inside the shop you find little experiments for kids, 3D wooden as well as other puzzles, and an assortment of things you do not seem to find elsewhere. I picked up several 3D birthday cards. If you like Pinocchio, this seems like a shop worth visiting.

My favorite shop in Zurich!…read more The way the shop is arranged is part minimal chic, part eclectic; Townhouse is one of those rare shops that make you want to stay for ages and and just browse, and chat, and buy one of everything (at least.) All products that run under the Townhouse label are designed and/or produced in Zurich and surroundings, and the store owners frequently work with local artists. The range is complemented by handpicked items from international brands that you won't find anywhere else in Zurich like Heeley Eau de Parfum, Archie Grand or Jewelberry. There are lots of lovely and hard-to-find items here. Another thing I love about Townhouse is that they are always incredibly welcoming and helpful, no matter if you just want to browse or how much or how little you end up buying; this is no small feat in Zurich, where shop owners/assistants are often a little grumpy or not very welcoming.

So naturally I ventured in and was in awe about all the signs they had an mostly fairly reasonable prices for what it's worth.

I'm not going to be that jackass who pulls the 'yeah, I was into Freitag back in the late 1990's'…read more Instead I've only been buying their products for the past ten years. Am I still kind of a jackass for writing that? Probably. Anyway, I've recently had the pleasure of visiting the 'mothership' Freitag shop here in Zuerich. I've only ever visited the super bitchin' Hamburg shop that, in the spirit of Boxpark in LDN, is housed in a large freight container. Of course, Freitag sells at other shops around the US like Flight 001, a shop I used to frequent on Berkeley's 4th St., but going to the source and having a good poke around has a certain satisfaction. I went with the hubs a few days back and perused the wallets. They have at least three different types plus a credit card holder resembling a small bi-fold. The wallet model called 'Miranda' caught my eye as it seemed to be built especially for a the mounds of change that one accumulates here in one's pockets. It was ungodly expensive (I'm embarrassed to write how much, but let's just say it was purchased for me as a birthday present as that's the only way I could marginally justify the cost). Beyond the tarp/seat belt/bike tire concoctions, Freitag have branched out into quite fancy-looking women's shoulder bags and totes. I am impressed by their ability to render tarpaulin-made objects into something so refined, but I didn't dare look at the price tags for these Park Avenue-looking wonders. The structure of the shop is a marvel made out of a cluster of freight containers. -get a gander of this wonder as you pass by on the train coming into town. I found the service at Freitag to be fairly casual; the shop assistant who dealt with me was quite warm and friendly. After a bit of struggle trying to understand her 'rein' Dialekt, I mentioned that I hadn't caught all of what she'd said. 'Ah! Sie moechten, dass ich Hochdeutsch rede?' Yes, please. And on we continued.
