Founded in 1922 by Alice Kriemler-Schoch in St. Gallen, Switzerland, Akris began as an atelier for fine aprons and evolved into an international symbol of understated luxury. Now led by the founder's grandsons, creative director Albert Kriemler and CEO Peter Kriemler, the house remains a family-owned, independent brand. Albert Kriemler's design process famously begins with the fabric, often developed in historic Swiss and Italian mills, reflecting a philosophy he calls "sensual minimalism." This approach results in clean lines, refined proportions, and a quiet confidence that defines the Akris aesthetic.
