Christmas gifts for employees and clients: a silk scarf from Switzerland
Updated: 6 days ago
At Christmas many companies thank their employees and clients. Most gifts carry a logo or are eaten by the new year. A beyondSilk silk scarf stays: it shows a Swiss destination in detail and is worn for years to come.
Zurich artist Karin Birkenmeier designed the scarves. They were printed at the Mitlödi silk printing mill in Glarus before the mill closed at the end of 2023. Seamstresses in Appenzell rolled the hems by hand. There will be no reprint: what remains is the final edition.
What makes a good Christmas gift for employees and clients
It gets used: a scarf goes with the recipient through summer and winter and on every trip.
It has a story: Zurich, Mitlödi, Appenzell, Canton of Grison.
It arrives on time: orders of 20 or more please by 1 December 2026.
