Maternity clothes in/near Basel?

Hi, I need to find some decent shops with maternity clothes and haven't had much luck. Can anyone recommend something in or near Basel? Second hand is fine, too. I've only found Nuggihaus so far and their stock was pretty limited. Would also be fine traveling into France or Germany. Thanks in advance for any help you can provide!

A friend recommended a french store Kiabi...near the ELECLERC in St Louis.

Also have you tried ricardo.ch?

Good luck

No but I will do - thanks very much!

If you're happy shipping from the UK you can save yourself a fortune.

For example, I bought this dress ( http://www.seraphine.com/braided-strap-maxi-dress.html ) from a maternity store in Lausanne for just under 200 chf. Even if I paid shipping and tax on only this one item I'd have saved money

I'm beginning to think the same thing. Even with the extra duty, some stuff I got at Boden is still cheaper than anything I've found locally. Will check out that website, too. Thanks!

I bought mine at Kiabi, in Saint Louis-France, not very expensive and very confortable. You can take the Bus 604 until Leclerc.

Good luck.

Pretty hopeless in this area, I've bought everything online, mostly from UK and France. There are options (search the forum) for delivery addresses across the border, if you don't want to pay the customs duties.

Hi,

We were still living in Basel when NickatbaselJnr was just a bump.

We were mightily impressed by this place in Freiburg...

H&M have really cute maternity clothes and they're cheap! I got a few things there and they held up really well...don't forget you'll need them postpartum for a bit, too!

Thanks everyone - these are all great ideas. Really appreciate the help!

If you are shopping in H&M don't forget to do it in Germany (Weil am Rhein or Lorrach) and make a tax saving as well as the RRP saving.

H&M served me very well, and their maternity vests are brilliant.

Esprit is also good.

C&A in Basel, I think do these.

Further afield, there are several maternity shops in Mulhouse and (same but bigger) in Strassbourg. My wife says the clothes in France are different to those in CH. Something to do with the cut... or something... not my areas of expertise.

In terms of shopping, Lòˆrrach generally wins hands down over Weil-am-Rhein, so I would start there if going for German style.

Good luck.
