INA KESS was founded with
the vision of creating stylish
and comfortable everyday
clothing made from the finest
technical fabrics. The brand
is led by two founding sisters,
along with an intern, and their
“atelier” is located in a flat in
the heart of Zurich. To better
understand the customers’
needs, the team conducts
surveys directly on the streets.

The groundwork starts. Numer-
ous visits to factories in Italy,
Portugal, and Lithuania, in-
house pattern developments,
countless feedback rounds
with family and friends and
the creation of our website
take over our days and nights.
On 6 December 2016
INAKESS.COM goes live.

We begin collaborating with
our first partners: Jelmoli in
Zurich, Pesko in Lenzerheide,
and a yoga studio. While
stores are initially skeptical
about the combination of
technical fabrics and fash-
ion-forward design, we remain
steadfast in our vision.
That day :)) First collaboration with a department store.
Jelmoli, Zurich, 2017
We open our (now) Flagship
Store, along with an addition-
al Pop-Up Store in Zurich.
Our LUXE LÉGER Track Pants
become a bestseller, and the
KENSINGTON Coat sells
out. We’re also expanding
into 15 more stores across
Switzerland. Meanwhile, our
office cat, Barney, joins the
team, bringing our total to six
members.
