2ème Étage

Bernese fashion designer Susanne Pfeffer’s label, 2ème Étage, comprises bold pieces that are at once eye-catching and stylish. It all starts with the fabric. Bi-annual fabric-buying visits to Munich give Sue all the inspiration she needs, with the textures and colours remaining central to the ensuing pieces. If you’re looking for stand out coats and dresses that play with proportion and will see you from season to season, 2ème Étage is heaven-sent. While Sue’s work doesn’t come cheap – think around CHF 385 for a blouse – she works only with high quality, natural fibres such as silk, wool, cotton and linen, so you can expect your purchases to be long-lived. What’s more, all production takes place on a small scale in Ticino, so expect proverbial Swiss quality too. 2ème Étage is currently available from Toku in Bern, Die Handlung in Lucerne and Ahoi Ahoi in Basel.
