Simone & Elise was created in 2018. The name of the brand was born from a combination of the first names of the two designers. For several years, they have been the managers of ready-­‐to-­‐wear stores before launching their own brand. In love with art, they decide to add a special touch to their creations: paintings representing the African woman in all her splendor! Timeless shapes, unique and vivid colors, rich and diverse materials remain at the heart of Simone & Elise’s universe. Simone & Elise is an ode to Africa, to the elegance of the African woman in all her diversity. Traditional or more modern, the Simone & Elise woman is resolutely elegant, original and assuming her femininity.
