History

Akris was founded in 1922 in St.

Gallen, Switzerland, and is renowned for its precision tailoring, luxurious fabrics, and quiet, architectural design language.

Under longtime creative director Albert Kriemler, Akris became synonymous with refined minimalism—favoring clean lines, technical innovation, and impeccable construction over overt branding.
