jelmoli x Tiger Swiss

Jelmoli and Tiger Swiss – a love story that has lasted for over 100 years. When Bally launched the Tigerfinkli around 1900, Jelmoli added them to its range in 1917 and sold the shoe with the unmistakable pompon via mail order catalogue.

Since then, Jelmoli has equipped countless children's feet with the classic and the Tigerfinkli quickly developed into a must-have for children and adults, which continues to enjoy great popularity today.

To celebrate the 190th anniversary, we have teamed up with Jelmoli to give the Tigerfinkli a new look. The limited special edition is available exclusively at Jelmoli in Zurich.
