Imperial shopping

Very different and very modern Vienna products can be found in the newly designed Herrengasse, Vienna's newest promenade area! Special souvenirs can be found in the shops of the Viennese Soap Manufactury, as well as the Viennese sweets workshop, where you can even see how the sweet treats are made. I however prefer the Viennese soaps which are hand-made according to old Viennese recipes!
 

Do you know Empress Elisabeth's famous stars? Most often she wore them in her long hair on many a painting. Sisi allegedly owned 27 of these diamond stars, which she could wear as a necklace, tiara, pendant, brooch or hair accessories. Now Köchert, the jewellers, has reissued these stars according to the original designs. Certainly a very high-quality memento of an imperial stay in Vienna!
