simone et elise

Ivorian brand Simone & Elise is an ode to the two founders’ love of art. A natural progression from owning their own ready-to-wear stores, the two came together to develop a collection of timeless designs that celebrate the African woman in all her splendour. Feminine shapes and vibrant colours abound. But the brand’s defining touch is the hand painted drawings on each individual garment. Painted by a team of in-house painters, every item is a unique masterpiece, ready to be worn and admired. From flowers to insects, surrealistic tribal elements and feminine portraits, the look is bold and eye-catching. Silhouettes are timeless, ready to make a statement no matter the season. Available in several African countries it’s easy to see why Simone & Elise are joining a group of artisanal brands making a name for themselves on the continent and throughout the world.
