150 years ago, Pauline Zimmerli, an inventor and mother of seven, founded the company of the same name. Strong women continue to shape Zimmerli today - such as Laetitia Wollschlegel, Head of Product Management.

For 150 years, the responsible treatment of nature has been a guiding principle in the thoughts and actions of Zimmerli of Switzerland. What is at best a trend in the fashion industry today, the company has been living out since its founding in 1871: No-Waste, local sourcing and environmentally friendly production of the finest underwear from natural materials.

For 150 years, Zimmerli of Switzerland has represented timeless values. These values were shaped by our founder Pauline Zimmerli (1829-1914). As a mother of seven children and a smart entrepreneur, she combined traditional craftsmanship with innovative technologies, sustainable creation with a global orientation, and a family business culture with professional organization.
Zimmerli of Switzerland has been creating iconic styles for 150 years. First and foremost, the legendary Zimmerli Tank Top. Originally intended discreetly as an undershirt, it gained widespread attention and cult status through numerous appearances in Hollywood films. Find out in our photo series how the tank top is still handmade in Switzerland today.

From the first touch, the top quality of Zimmerli's finest fabrics and handmade underwear speaks for itself. The refined details and designs offer immediate sensory feedback and guarantee an absolutely exclusive experience in terms of style and feel.
