At this Glarus-based business, the distinction “Swiss made” truly lives up to its promise. The terry towelling fabrics from Switzerland are cotton products made by an environmentally-friendly process. In cooperation with Christian Fischbacher Co. AG, high fashion home and bathing coats are designed and made to the highest quality standards. The finest, fluffy Dreamflor terry-towelling and elegant satin fabrics with their distinctive patterns are used to make Dreamflor terry toweling gowns in plain colours or with printed patterns.
