Shopping for lace in Lucerne? |
Hi, I will be visiting Lucerne for the first time this summer with my daughter's choir, and a friend has told me to look for lace while in Switzerland. Can anyone tell me where in Lucerne would be a good place to look? We will be there for 4 days, however we already have alot of our time blocked out with the tour company we'll be with. I will have a couple of afternoons free while the students are in rehearsal. Thanks in advance! |

I lived in Lucerne for 2 years and never knew laces were a popular shopping item there :)
However, if you check out the old town, there are a lot of shops there where you can find all sorts of stuff. Try the stores in Zurichstrasse too, also central. There is a smopping mall in Emmen too...
It is one of the most beautiful towns in the world and a visit to Mount Pilatus or Rigi wouldn't hurt either... Or just toake a boat to any close town and back.. You will be amazed by its beauty... |

I lived in Switzerland for three years and I never discussed lace as being something that was sought over. While I was in Austria, I saw lace everywhere. Are you sure your friend wasn't thinking of Austria? Lucerne is a nice city for browsing and shopping. You will get to know the aldstadt (The old city) quite well in four days. Look, ask...you will find what you want for sure. I am sure you will visit Pilatus and or Rigi Kulm when you go...you will enjoy both. |

The tour giude may help you there, or the tour will take where toursists trap's are, but chances they will have what you are looking for.. or try this super-store:
Manor Luzern
Weggisgasse 5
6002 Luzern
They may have it there.
p.s. went to a website of Swiss textile mabuf. Assoc.: they do have lace made in Switzerland, so you may find some in Lucern, but it is machine made. Bubbles is wrong. (see her response below) |

that's an odd comment.... I wonder when you friend was in Switzerland because hand loomed laces are quite a thing of the past. I know they still make tourist stuff like handkerchiefs and small linen items with lace but almost no one in the world still makes yards of handmade lace. Would also be a fortune to buy!! Since even good machine lace can range up to $50 a yard.

This is the best supplier in the USA of Swiss and french laces.... as you can see they don't even carry a true handmade lace... it's machine embroidered. |
