AKRIS: Fashion With a Heritage

Few historic family-run fashion houses remain in Europe, a landscape in which major corporate groups continue to expand their portfolios. Yet in a village that is not French but Swiss, the Kriemlers endure—the third generation behind the luxury house Akris, founded in 1922. To survive for a century requires uncompromising standards and impeccable quality, and this is precisely what this quietly confident couture house delivers: elegant, timeless garments made from the finest materials in the world, with exquisite craftsmanship for clients who are as discreet as they are discerning. Without falling into the cliché of “quiet luxury,” brands like Akris—Switzerland’s only member of the Fédération Française de la Couture—demonstrate that work done well has a far longer life than hype.
