I’ll begin with full disclosure: I live about two blocks from the Zürcher Living Room. So color me spoiled! The Basler Living Room is as eye-catching and inviting as the Zürcher branch, if however, a bit cramped, and also boasts a super selection of gift ideas and plain olé pretty-yet-useful items for the home. For those of you hailing from No. America, a small selection of Dr. Bronner’s soap and body lotion is available at Basler LR. I hadn’t thought that Dr. Bronner’s could be had in CH, so the sight of it here makes me pretty happy. I was also taken by the Frieda Kahlo-inspired jewelry assortment, nicely-scented European soap bars and brightly colored ceramic-ware from Italy sold at both shops, from what I recall. Both tourists in the Spalentor area and city dwellers alike might well enjoy a look-see in this cosy-n-cute shop. Zürcher sister store:
