A new online fabric and haberdashery store has just been launched in Switzerland.
Set up by sewing enthusiast, Ana Olivera, Tissu & Co stocks a wide range of beautiful and stylish fabrics from some of the top brands in the world. The website also offers modern sewing patterns, sewing kits for beginners, and top quality sewing notions, many of which are difficult to source locally in Switzerland. Product descriptions are currently available in both French and English, with German to be added shortly.
Asked why she decided to set up a store in Switzerland, Ana told knowitall.ch, “I started sewing in my teens and by my mid twenties I was a very prolific sewist. However, I stopped for many years as my professional career and personal life became more demanding. A few years ago, I rediscovered my passion for sewing through the internet, sewing blogs and social media. But I quickly became frustrated as there were so many products that I just could not find where I live in Vaud, so I decided to create Tissu & Co!”
