I love to write hand-lettered cards to my friends and wrap gifts in style for my family. That is why feines is my go-to shop when it comes to papers, envelopes, stamps and more. This shop has just the cutest stationery articles in unique and cheerful designs. So whether you are looking to take home an original souvenir or buy yourself a present, you will have a locally elaborated product because the two young female designers are from Bern.
Another plus is that the prices at feines are reasonable, especially for Swiss standards. If you like to make something crafty, you can attend one of their workshops, which are held from time to time.
Besides creating lovely goods that brighten up your day, the founders of feines are pursuing an ecological and ethical approach. The items are produced whenever possible with resource-saving materials, avoiding emissions and biological color.

I especially like that they have about a dozen bottles by the glass and that they offer you to try several wines before you settle for a good drop.
