Circle Jacket by Neumühle

This simple unisex jacket (CHF 468) will keep you warm for years – Neumühle guarantees to repair it free of charge within the first five years. But that’s not the only reason why this jacket is so sustainable. The garment is made in Switzerland using biological and recycled materials from neighbouring countries.

Arm warmers from Beige

Textile designers Manuela Helg and Karin Maurer opened Beige, their shop on Josefstrasse, nearly twenty years ago. Beige products are also available from their online shop. They include arm warmers (79 francs) made from merino wool – ideal for keeping you warm while sending a text or peeling your roast chestnuts.

Lip balm from Soeder

Even if you’re not kissing anyone at the moment, you still want soft lips, don’t you? This natural lip balm from Soeder (9.50 Fr.) nourishes your lips with coconut butter, beeswax and honey from the Zurich Oberland. It is made in Zurich.

Hot chocolate from Garçoa

If it tastes good in the ski lodge, we promise it will also taste good at home! But maybe with an extra hipster touch. Instead of just making yourself an Ovaltine drink, treat yourself to a Garçoa hot chocolate. And if you like something a little more unusual, try the Cosy Curcuma (16.50 Fr.) and Hot Chili (16.50 Fr.) varieties.
