Kepler Metal Braid Blazer

Akris' Kepler cardigan-style jacket, crafted of innovative techno metal braid, features a flattering V-neckline and a concealed snap-front closure. Detailed with practical pockets and sleek long sleeves, this modern outerwear piece seamlessly combines architectural texture with effortless elegance. Founded in 1922 in St. Gallen, Switzerland, the name Akris was derived from founder Alice-Kriemler Schoch's initials. The entrepreneurial designer first started designing dotted aprons with intricate embroidery and soft cotton, which quickly grew into a full line of ready-to-wear. Almost 100 years later, the brand is now helmed by her grandsons. Creative Director Albert Kriemler continues to pay homage to his grandmother through polka-dot lined clothing, luxe fabrications and modern design—which now include sleek accessories like the cult-favorite AI trapezoidal handbag.
