BERN & ZURICH

CLOTHES SHOES ACCESSORIES

WHO WE ARE

cph happened totally unexpectedly when we discovered our calling as a couple was dressing people.

cph Bern opened in 2000, cph Zurich in 2007. We called our stores cph because of our roots in Denmark and our Scandinavian vision of the beautiful. cph is short for Copenhagen.

Mette’s labels KLÆR and the cph collection are now primarily – Made in Switzerland. They represent the essence of what cph stands for – Scandinavian values of effortless dressing – feminine and sophisticated, inspired by the legendary sixties and seventies. Our collections are made of brilliant Italian materials and sewn with the utmost care and dedication. We offer them to you at the best possible price-performance ratio.

KLÆR and the cph collection are supplemented by guest labels. Great collections made by great people.

It would be our pleasure and joy to welcome and serve you in cph Bern or Zurich

Love

Mette, Johnson and the cph-Team

JOHNSON
Zurich

At university the questions we asked were kind of all up in the head. Then, years later I started to work in our store in Zurich and the questions were now hardly of the intellectual kind but questions of the heart. How do you love people, especially the unpleasant ones? What is the opposite of beauty? The answer I have found: Sadness!
