Akris

Searching for second hand Akris clothing or accessories? Discover a world of sleek precision, understated elegance and Swiss-quality tailoring with Akris - a brand loved by those who value quiet luxury, architectural cuts and elevated minimalism. Refined and intelligently designed, Akris is a favourite among modern women who want their wardrobe to speak softly but say something powerful.

Founded in St. Gallen, Switzerland in 1922, Akris is a family-run fashion house currently led by creative director Albert Kriemler, the grandson of the brand’s founder. Known for his meticulous attention to detail, Kriemler has transformed the label into a global symbol of discreet sophistication. Akris is one of the few luxury brands to maintain complete control of its design and production process in-house - from sketch to final stitch - ensuring every piece lives up to the brand’s reputation for quality and innovation.

Akris became internationally known for its sharp tailoring, sculptural silhouettes and use of luxurious, technical fabrics such as double-faced cashmere, silk gazar, and fine horsehair. While never showy, the clothes have a strong visual identity - clean lines, perfect fit, and a modern sensibility that speaks to women in leadership, creativity and culture.

Why Akris Has a Loyal Following

Akris appeals to women who understand the power of intelligent design. It is fashion without fuss, elegance without effort. The brand's minimalist aesthetic is paired with complex construction techniques, making each garment a study in wearable architecture.

Rather than chasing trends, Akris focuses on timeless pieces that can live in your wardrobe for years - impeccably made coats, day-to-night dresses, sharply cut trousers and soft structured tops that balance femininity and strength.

Signature features include:

- Streamlined tailoring and clean, sculptural silhouettes

- Innovative fabrics including silk double-face and tech-stretch wool

- Minimal detailing with maximum precision

- Subtle references to art, architecture and nature

- A seasonless, investment-worthy colour palette

Akris also produces refined accessories including minimalist handbags like the iconic Ai trapezoid tote, known for its transformable design and supple leather construction.
