Chef Revival (Ritz)

Chef Revival was founded 1986 in Australia by two enterprising chefs as a way to earn extra income and satisfy a need for more comfortable and functional kitchen apparel. With a $50 sewing machine, a roll of fabric and an $8,000 loan the company began making aprons and apparel for their own use and sale to other chefs. “Designed by Chefs for Chefs” has been Chef Revival’s motto since the beginning.

Designed by Chefs for Chefs

Chef Revival’s roots stretch even further back to 1892, when its parent company was founded in New York City. John Ritzenthaler Company started out as an importer of the highest quality cleaning cloths from Belgium which were branded “RITZ Cloths” and sold only to better department stores and fine specialty retailers.
