Akris has written over 80 years of history as
the Swiss family company in St. Gallen. With just one sewing machine, Albert
und Peter Kriemler’s grandmother, Alice Kriemler-Schoch, laid the foundations
for the current operation in 1922 and at first, made only aprons. In 1945, son
Max followed in her footsteps and over a period of 40 years, built Akris up
into a couture house known all over the world, as well as producing for other
fashion houses, such as Hubert de Givenchy and Ted Lapidus, to name only two. Together
with his wife Ute, Max Kriemler created a company culture that defined the
highest quality and style as their most important values, which won them
international accolades. Since the 1980’s, his two sons have jointly run the
company. Albert Kriemler is responsible for design and marketing and Peter
Kriemler directs management and production. The company’s headquarters remain
located in the embroidery capital of St. Gallen, a small city in eastern Switzerland.
The Akris collection is entirely produced in Switzerland
in the firm’s own production centers in St. Gallen, Zurich
and the Ticino.
