Team

 

 

Born and raised in Gothenburg on the west coast of Sweden. At 19, she left her old home to explore the world on a cruise ship. After two years of hard work, she ended up in London, where she went to school before love swept her away to Switzerland 22 years ago. Anna has been part of the Claudia Güdel team since 2011 and spent many years commuting between the shops in Basel and Zurich before taking over the management of the shop on Bäckerstrasse. When she is not to be seen in the store, she is studying to become a shiatsu therapist.

 

 

 

Sabine Arnold comes from the Swiss city of Solothurn. She is passionate about exploring clothing as it relates to our bodies – about the subtle interplay of the interior individual and the exterior shell. This interest led her to train as agarment technologist and then deepen her professional knowledge and skills at the Institute of Fashion Design at the FHNW Academy of Art and Design in Basel. After completing her formal education, Sabine started her own clothing label in Madrid. She then returned to Switzerland and worked in Zurich as a pattern cutter and production manager at the Swiss label KAZU. Sabine has been part of the Claudia Güdel team since 2014 and is responsible for the wholesale aspect of the business. She has been managing the Schnabelgasse shop in Basel since 2015.

In addition, together with Claudia, she keeps an eye on the day-to-day administrative tasks. She has completed a business degree as well as a professional baccalaureate in design & art.

 

 

 

Her heart beats for colors, shapes and materials. In order to gain a versatile insight into creative work, she attended the preliminary design course at INVERS in Bern after completing her compulsory schooling. During this time, the sewing machine was an integral part of her leisure activities. This confirmed her desire to complete an apprenticeship as a clothing designer at the IDM sewing factory. With the craft she had learned and her fascination for clothes, she finally started working for Claudia Güdel in September 2023, when the store opened in Bern.

 

 

 

born in Langnau im Emmental, trained as a decoration designer at Loeb in Bern. After a detour into building painting, she trained as a color designer in construction. As a mother of two, she then decided to open a second-hand store for kids and family, which she has been running for 5 years. Since the opening in September, she has been working part-time in our Bern team and combines her knowledge of color, form and materiality with Claudia Güdel's clothing. And she finally gets to dress mannequins again :)
