Farewell gift for a colleague: a piece of Switzerland in silk
A colleague is leaving the team: she is changing jobs, moving to another city or going back to her home country. A good farewell gift recalls the time you shared and the place where you worked together. A beyondSilk silk scarf shows exactly that place, on 100 × 100 cm of silk.
Seven designs are available, from CHF 120. Delivery in Switzerland is free.
A gift from the whole team
When the team pools their money, they can give a gift that will be treasured for years to come. CHF 200 shared by ten colleagues is CHF 20 each. One person orders online and adds the team's message at checkout.
When she leaves the city
For a colleague leaving Zurich, Geneva or Lucerne, the scarf is a piece of that city to take along:
The Zurich scarf with the Grossmünster, Chagall windows, Bögg and the clock face of St. Peter. CHF 200.
The Geneva scarf with the Jet d'Eau, Mont Blanc, Lake Geneva and watch dials. CHF 200.
The Lucerne scarf with the Chapel Bridge, Rigi and Pilatus. CHF 120.
When she leaves Switzerland
For colleagues returning home after some years in Switzerland, the Switzerland scarf with all 41 peaks above 4'000 metres and landmarks and flowers from the whole country recalls the whole stay. CHF 220. It weighs almost nothing and fits in any suitcase.
