История
Alice Kriemler-Schoch founded Akris in St. Gallen, Switzerland, in 1922, initially producing aprons. Under the leadership of her grandson, Albert Kriemler, the house transitioned into international ready-to-wear. The brand is historically significant for its integration of St. Gallen’s textile heritage with modern silhouettes. It gained recognition for its architectural collaborations and the development of horsehair fabrics. Akris remains a family-owned entity, maintaining a focus on technical precision and textile innovation within the industry.
