Alterations, repairs and made-to-measure work – for over 30 years at Sempacherstrasse 19
Zekos Express is the tailor in Lucerne for everything that does not fit or is broken: shortening trousers, taking in a suit, altering a dress, replacing a zip, renewing a lining. Two minutes from Lucerne station, no appointment needed, open Monday to Saturday.
Most of our work is alterations: shortening trousers and jeans – with the original hem on request – adjusting suits and jackets at waist and sleeve, taking dresses and skirts in or out, fitting blouses and shirts, shortening coats. Then come repairs: new zips, renewed linings, mended tears and moth holes, buttons and hooks moved. Much of it is done within a few days.
Trouser hemming starts at CHF 25.–, a new zip at CHF 42.–, curtain hemming at CHF 27.–. The exact price depends on fabric, lining and effort; we give it to you as a firm quote before we start – never only at collection. Simple jobs are often ready within 1–2 days, complex adjustments take a little longer. If you are in a hurry, ask about our express service.
All under one roof at Sempacherstrasse 19 – including dry cleaning in the same building.
Commuters who drop in on the way to the station. Families having school uniforms and children's clothes adjusted. Couples and guests before the wedding season. Companies and restaurants with workwear. And everyone who would rather alter a good garment than throw it away.
Sempacherstrasse 19, 6003 Lucerne – about five minutes' walk from Lucerne station and a few steps from the bus stop. No appointment needed: bring the garment any time during opening hours, Monday to Saturday. Fittings and advice happen on site.

Trouser hemming starts at CHF 25.–. Keeping the original hem, or lined and complex models, costs a little more. We give the firm price after a quick check on site.
Simple jobs such as hemming or a new zip are often ready within 1–2 days. Suits, evening dresses and wedding gowns take longer because at least one fitting is involved.

Yes. Dry cleaning and laundry are in the same building. Many people have a garment cleaned first and altered afterwards – you hand it in once and collect it once.
