ORNARIS Zurich, 2018 – We Were There!

2018-03-15

From January 14 to 16, 2018, the time had come: we showcased our Legendary VARSY’S products for the first time at THE Swiss trade fair for retail, ORNARIS in Zurich!

We were one of 450 creative exhibitors at the 29,000 square metre fair, bringing our unique, handcrafted products closer to visitors. We were especially proud to be in the 100% Swiss Made category of exhibitors, as our LEGENDENBOX Limited Edition and Classic, our notebooks, postcards, and of course our Legendary Swiss chocolate are all made in Switzerland!
That our innovative and unique cultural project of Swiss legends and myths caused quite a stir was evident from the fact that VARSY’S was equally popular with the fair organisers and visitors, and was also featured on the ORNARIS Facebook page!

We will also be at the next ORNARIS from August 12 to 14 in Bern! Experience our products up close at the fair or at one of our partner stores across Switzerland! We look forward to seeing you!
