What are you looking for exactly?

A shop that will repair your clothes?  Or a tailor who will make a garment for you?

For repairs, try your nearest dry-cleaning outlet.  Most of them offer a repair service.  Otherwise, look for someone offering “retouche” service.

For bespoke tailoring, there’s Raj Mipouri – see glocals special offer.  Otherwise, a trip home might be cheaper.

As for fabric shops, there are only a couple of these left in Geneva and they never undertook “stitching” anyway.

Best, R.

Thanks Ritchie

Unfortunately this stores are CRAZY expensive.  It's definitely not worth it in Geneva - I might recommend looking in France for fabric stores... I spent 76 CHF on 1.5 yards of a black jersey knit... it wasn't even a nice one :(.

Michelle is right.  The prices for fabrics in Geneva are incredibly steep – and always have been, even in the days when there was a choice of such shops in town.

My advice is to buy in France.  Lyon, of course, is the very best place to go but nearer home Annecy has a good selection and I think that you can still find one or two small shops in Annemasse.

There is a store  with basic fabrics - dress and shirt cottons etc, furnishing fabric and haberdashery, called Mondial Tissus in Annemasse. It is very large! Google is your friend.

Thanks, Michelle, Ritchie and Beareded ...
