Catherine Nayener
Embroiderer
Genève

« With us, little hands go crazy! »

For Catherine Nayener, embroidery is a family affair. Her mother and grandmother embroidered and her daughter Aurélie was touched by the same passion. After training at the École Lesage in Paris, she worked for big names in haute couture such as Karl Lagerfeld and Jean-Paul Gauthier. Back in Geneva, she opened her haberdashery in 2007 and has since trained nearly 25 students per week.

« To my knowledge, we are the only embroiderers in the canton to offer only homemade products. This involves real attention and endless hours of work. »

Catherine and Aurélie Nayener are not satisfied with selling thousands of buttons and hundreds of colored threads. They also advise their customers and suggest ideas. In addition, they do embroidery for individuals and companies from Switzerland and elsewhere: lettering, embroidered aprons and period rugs, nothing can resist their meticulous hands.
