Local entrepreneurs, Barbara Traulsen and Selene Folkesson, have just launched an exciting new fashion accessory, which is suitable for all ages and has appeal to both genders, no matter what the season, or time of day. Called brappz, the brightly colored cords were developed initially as a trendy alternative to bra straps, but have also been gaining popularity as stylish bracelets, anklets, cool-looking hair braids and even practical shoelaces!
The new line of silky smooth brappz straps were launched officially at the beginning of July and will be available for purchase online, as well as at local retailers including SB Sport in Gland, A Cause Des Garcons in Nyon, Boutique Ateapic in Geneva, and Sport 137 in Versoix. While the standard size will be available in 14 different colors, there will also be an extra large size, ideal for shoelaces, cross back bras and halter tops, available in 5 colors of their own.

A new dry cleaning service has been launched in the Lake Geneva region, which aims to fit in with the hectic lifestyles of its clients.
Called “On My Way”, the new service allows clients to register their garments for cleaning online, and then drop them off at any of their 20 partner service stations, conveniently situated on motorway routes and in towns and cities in the Lake Geneva region.
The pioneering “On My Way" concept is the brainchild of long-standing friends, Cédric Rimella and Carlos Serrano, who recognized the need to simplify people’s lives by giving them access to an easy and efficient, high quality dry cleaning service on their daily commutes.
