ABOUT
SSIMONA is the anagram of the French word “maisons”, which means homes. SSIMONA wants to bring together a community of designers and artists who aspire to build their homes, their businesses and their work in a durable way, in line with SSIMONA’s values: respect, honesty and freedom. Its focus is to bring together personalities who think in a humble way and who adopt practices that minimize environmental footprint while maximizing their social impacts.
Exclusively curating from Europe, SSIMONA offers apparel, accessories, decorative objects, unique creations, carefully selected magazines and books that allow everyone to embody their personality.
VALUES
SSIMONA encourages people who think their art, their creation and their production are aligned with its values: respect, honesty and freedom. They have the desire to do better. They show that by working together it is possible to impose, inscribe and offer ways of doing and thinking that respect nature and people.
It is also a platform to learn, understand, discover and connect to the different European cultures and savoir-faire.
It is a collective work where each one is connected to others, where each one has his role to honor. It is a place where social and geographical barriers are no more.
SEASONS FOR REASONS
At every solstice of new seasons (Spring, Summer, Autumn, Winter), SSIMONA will organize a pop-up in Paris and new treasures will be uploaded on the website www.ssimona.com. We firmly believe in seasonless style. We also believe in great quality and in building timeless essential wardrobes, full of loved pieces that will last beyond trends.
RESPECT
SSIMONA collaborates with people that rather reduce their waste than overproduce. This goes together with overconsumption. This means working with brands that produce smaller batches (avoiding deadstock and wasteful overproduction). Creatives curated by SSIMONA are using natural fibers as well as natural dying process or deadstock materials. At SSIMONA, it is primordial to respect the same commitment in our daily work habits.
HONESTY
At SSIMONA, radical transparency is an essential value as it helps us improve our practices and allows us to learn from each other. This is a commitment that will define our choices and the way we communicate. While working on redistribution through donation, SSIMONA is engaged in achieving its B-Corp certification.
FREEDOM
At SSIMONA we believe in the
freedom to be, to choose and to respect others through kindness. Education,
knowledge and curiosity are essentials tools for every soul to be freed from
their personal history, their social background and therefore evolve in their
life.
DONATION
At SSIMONA we believe in
circular positivity, where giving back to our community is essential to empower
everyone and reconcile profit with collective interest.
When purchasing an
item from SSIMONA you automatically
give back, thanks to our annual donation to a local association. You also
support the committed brands and people we collaborate with. This action
empowers each of us and allows us to go beyond the mere act of consuming.
Through this approach,
you create a more virtuous society and bring a form of sweetness and poetry to every
day’s life. By doing good, we do good to ourselves.
YOUR CHOICE MATTERS
A selection of local organizations
working around education, human rights and exiled minors on French territory
will be presented online. You will vote and decide to whom the donation will be
allocated. The selected initiatives will be supported for one or two years. Only
people that have purchased on www.ssimona.com will receive an invitation to
vote via email so no need to sign up for our newsletter to participate.
SSIMONA will allocate 5% of its
net profit to its yearly donation.
