Anna and Markus are two young Swiss entrepreneurs who specialize in making aesthetic, made to measure pairs of braces. Much to the delight of not just the lindy hop and swing crowd, but also hipsters, business people, old and young alike. Alongside the hosenträger (literally ‘trouser carriers’) as they are known as in German, they also create and produce two fashion collections a year, inspired by 1920s - 1950s designs. Fabrics are bought from Switzerland, Germany and Italy and the rest, from start to finish, takes place in their boutique on Bruchstrasse. A stylish pair of handmade braces will set you back 65 - 100 Sfr, their creations can also be found at Globus department store.
