Riviera

Frustrated with what she perceived to be a lack of good clothing shops, Andrea Otto Knopp launched Riviera in Basel in 2006. She now does a service to the city's fashion portfolio by sourcing little known European designers who are too good to go undiscovered. Among this intriguing selection of clothes, accessories, bags and jewellery for men and women there are also established labels such as Surface to Air, Sessùn and Pop Copenhagen, as well as some one-off pieces. The shop should come with a warning, so we’re warning you: the well-cut pieces hanging from its rails are nothing short of irresistible thanks to their luxurious materials and modern and classic styles.
