Here it is, our first BERENIK BOUTIQUE in Zurich!
We still can't believe this really belongs to us and it still feels more like a dream than reality! But we completed last friday night and even after some hours of sleep it was still there the next morning! We had a great opening on saturday and would like to thank everybody who came and all the helping hands of many many people who made everything possible. For example ACRUSH for receiving and storing all the parcels during weeks, lending us all required tools, hoovers and pickups, Füle and Sevi for their spontaneous help with the electrical installations, ARNIKO for their support, the recommendations and helping hands, the tossa team for this wonderful and extraordinary long sideboard, made in this short time, Anneka for finding and the PWG Foundation for giving us the chance to rent that great space, Julia and Gunnar with their team from the manufactory in Shanghai for absolute correct delivery, their extraordinary ambition and the inspiring cooperation for over 3 years, Tobi Siebrecht, Bianca Mosimann and the Shooting team for supporting us with their help to give a face to our brand, Fizze for his unbelievable support with all finance, tax and insurance issues and for just pointing out the right spot where to sign these boring papers, Florian Bachmann for the fast photos of the boutique late at night, Lucia for the beautiful illuminated sign of her old shop SOWOHL, the people who trusted us and believed in our ideas and gave us some loans, my family and my friends for their moral support, all our loyal customers who encouraged us and all the new ones that just dropped by, all the other boutiques like ERBUDAK, KONRAD STORE, MARINSEL, DIE HANDLUNG, GOLDMARIE, RTS that carried or still carry our collections and helped BERENIK to grow, our lovely neighbors from Pizzeria Milano for the internet, the pizzas, the coffees, the proseccos and the friendly words, Ray and Nino for giving us a home during the construction works and last but not least our shop manager Alice who took over so much responsibility in only a few days and jumped into the cold water together with us, also Annina and Giulietta who brought lots of energy into our team and over all Philipp who stayed with me in every single moment of doubt and invested all his spare time and energy in BERENIK and now in the boutique since many years.
THANK YOU ALL AND SEE YOU SOON!!!!
