Swiss Miss

There are embroideries, and then there are Swiss embroideries. Breathtaking and beyond sophisticated, these special cloths are made by a select group of mills using age-old techniques in thoroughly modern motifs.

Craft is king at Bischoff, one such jewel, founded in 1927 in St. Gallen. The mill offers everything from guipures, broderie anglaise, silk embroideries and thermo-cuts.

Here, their lace-like embroidery shines bright in navy and silver, one of my favorite classic color combinations.
