Intro

Textile manufacturing has shaped St. Gallen for centuries. The ambition, foresight and creativity of export merchants led the city to a leading position in both the linen trade and the embroidery industry. The magnificent buildings and opulent façades, as well as the collection of the Textile Museum, bear witness to this.

Learn about the history of the textile industry in St. Gallen on a guided tour at the world famous Jakob Schlaepfer embroidery boutique. It exports St.Gallen embroidery worldwide and supplies Haute Couture fashion houses.
