Simone Perele US

The legend begins in a warmly-lit workshop in 1948, rue de Montyon in Paris: The daughter of an expert corset-maker, Madame Simone Perele grew up with a natural understanding of a woman’s body and its movements. Truly avant-garde for her time, she envisioned modern women as they are today: active, confident and independent.

Madame Simone Perele’s two children, Philippe and Catherine, have carried on in their mothers design philosophy ever since they assumed management of the company in 1985. Today, the company pursues its development in two directions: product innovation and international market expansion.
