Corporate gifts from Switzerland: a silk scarf with a story
beyondSilk silk scarves tell a story your clients and staff can check for themselves. Each scarf shows a Swiss place in detail, designed by Zurich artist Karin Birkenmeier, printed at the Mitlödi silk printing works in Glarus before the mill closed at the end of 2023, and hand-hemmed in Appenzell. No design will be reprinted. What remains is the final edition.
Who the scarf is for
Clients and partners: a thank-you at year end, at the close of a project or for an anniversary.
Staff: service anniversaries, retirement, farewells, Christmas.
Guests and delegations: a piece of Switzerland that fits in any hand luggage.
Speakers and jury members: instead of flowers that stay at the airport.
Hotels, law firms, banks, relocation agencies: the welcome or closing gift that shows the place where your client lives or works.
The scarves are a gift for women. For mixed lists we suggest pairing them with a second item of your choice.
