Audrey Soie is a young and rapidly developing French brand specializing in high quality accessories and garments made of natural materials. Despite being relatively new on the market, the brand has already got a huge fan base amongst the French and Swiss, and is renowned for using original color palettes and rich patterns suitable for all occasions.
At the heart of the Audrey Soie Haute Couture collection is an exquisite line of silk scarves. Founder, Audrey Soie, paints her designs by hand and then prints them on high quality silk using sophisticated serigraphy technology. Each scarf from her collection is a unique piece of art. Audrey uses 100% pure silk satin which makes her scarves softer and smoother then twill scarves, which you will often find for sale in the shops around here.
To attract new customers for her silk scarf range, Audrey is offering knowitall.ch readers an incredible 50% off all silk scarves purchased through her website. Just use the promotional code LOVEKNOWITALL when placing your booking on the website, to receive your discount. This offer is valid until 30 June, 2015.
Welcome offer: 10% discount until 18 April, 2015 (see conditions in the shop)!
20 March 2015 - Payot Bookshop has today opened a brand new book store in the heart of Geneva on the Rue de la Confédération. The store is conveniently situated in the old UBS building, on the corner of the aptly-named, Rue du Commerce.
With 1,800m2 of floor space, the new store replaces the former bookshops on the rue de Marché and Rue Chantepoulet, both of which closed last week.
In addition to offering both francophone and international books, the bright and airy store features a Nature et Découverte shop within the premises, and a welcoming new café called La Semeuse.

Whether you have lived in this region since birth, or have only been resident for a few years, the chances are that at some point in your life you will want to capture a memory of some special corner of Switzerland. For many people, this will be in the form of a painting – but it is often hard to know where best to look, with so many artists available and so much on offer.
Artiswiss is a new type of art gallery, specializing in paintings of the Lac Léman region, from Geneva to Lavaux, and other neighboring areas (Valais, Grisons). Set up a year ago by local artist, Rita Mancesti, Artiswiss is located in Coppet, Vaud, under the ancient arcade at 28b Grand Rue. If you step into the gallery any day between 9h30 and 13h on a Tuesday to Saturday, don’t miss the chance to meet Rita in person, who will be delighted to explain her oil paintings to you – in French, English, German or Italian. Unlike many artists who like to work alone, Rita actually creates her paintings at the gallery, so you can watch her whilst she works in her own studio/atelier. Indeed you don't even need to step into the gallery - you can see her work unfold before your very eyes through the gallery window!
