RIER’s mission is to re-evaluate regional craft and traditional Austrian-Italian mountain wear through a sleek, contemporary lens. Founded by South Tyrolean designer Andreas Steiner in Paris, RIER focuses on decontextualizing historic Alpine heritage into essential luxury garments. Informed by his upbringing in the Dolomites and honing his craft at luxury houses including Prada and Louis Vuitton, Steiner replaces synthetic technical fabrics with pure natural fibers like local loden wool, fleece, and mohair.
Combining hyper-functional outdoor utility with pristine Parisian tailoring, RIER transforms heritage Tyrolean textiles into timeless, fluid silhouettes tailored for a conscious modern lifestyle. Designed for discerning individuals who value quiet sophistication, localized artisanal expertise, and uncompromising functional design.
Kimono Store chooses RIER as it delivers hyper-refined wardrobe staples crafted from natural materials that radiate quiet durability, elevate utilitarian function, and create a seamless bridge between rugged mountain lifestyle and urban modernism.
