WORKING CONDITIONS & WAGES

There is no clear information available regarding own production facilities. There are also no indications of regular supplier visits or audits.

The brand collaborates with selected embroidery and lace houses in Europe. Details on this are missing.
In its communication, the brand shows some awareness of diversity and inclusivity, particularly by portraying different body shapes and age groups.

MATERIALS

• Polyester
• Polyamide
• Elastane
• Viscose
• Silk
• Cotton
• Polyurethane
• Lace (from European embroidery and lace houses, no precise details available)

Simone Pérèle uses a mix of synthetic and natural materials.

Polyester, polyamide, elastane and polyurethane are petroleum-based fibres. They are elastic, durable and easy to care for, yet problematic regarding microplastics and limited recyclability. Read more here about the invisible environmental impact of the fashion industry.

Lace is sourced from renowned European houses, but detailed information on certificates or origin is missing.

PACKAGING

Simone Pérèle does not disclose detailed information on the packaging materials used.

WATER & CHEMICALS

Within its ​“Simone Cares” programme, Simone Pérèle highlights the use of recycled fibres but does not provide further details on environmental management or technical processes.

Concrete measures regarding water consumption or wastewater treatment in production are not disclosed. No information is available on chemical management, for example in relation to dyeing, printing or bleaching.

Since a large part of the collections is based on synthetic fibres such as polyester, polyamide and elastane, there is a risk of microplastic release during washing, without any countermeasures being described.

CIRCULAR PRODUCT DESIGN

The majority of Simone Pérèle’s products are made from material blends, which makes later recycling more difficult.
A take-back service for discarded items is not documented.

With the ​“Simone Cares” programme, the brand refers to the use of recycled fibres. Further details are lacking.
Since lingerie is often made from delicate lace and mixed fabrics, it is in practice difficult to repair and generally not designed for long-term circular use.

CIRCULAR BUSINESS MODEL

Simone Pérèle does not offer a repair service. Nor are there any indications of a take-back service in the sense of returning worn items for recycling or second-hand use. The brand does not communicate any further circular business models.

TRANSPORT

The brand does not provide information on the origin of the silk. A specific code of conduct for animal-derived materials has not been published.

PRODUCT DESIGN

Simone Pérèle offers a product range for women, including bras, briefs, bodysuits, nightwear, shapewear and swimwear.

In terms of inclusivity, the brand covers a wide selection of bra sizes, including larger cups and plus-size models.

The collections are stylistically diverse, from classic basics to elaborately embroidered pieces, and thus appeal to different tastes and age groups.

SLOW FASHION PROCESSES

Simone Pérèle usually releases several seasonal collections per year, complemented by continuous lines with recurring classics.

The brand participates in regular sales periods and offers discount promotions.

Made-to-measure or made-to-order services are not part of the business model. Production takes place in standardised series manufacturing.

TRANSPARENZ DES PRODUKTES

On Simone Pérèle’s product pages, information can be found on price, product name, colour, available sizes, as well as material composition and care instructions. In some cases, the production country is also mentioned. In addition, the collection or product line and a brief description of the design features are provided. However, traceability remains limited, as only the production country is occasionally indicated, while neither specific factories nor the individual steps of the supply chain are made transparent. Complete traceability down to the materials used or the suppliers is therefore not possible.

TRANSPARENZ DES PROZESSES

Simone Pérèle provides only very limited information about its processes and suppliers. References to supplier relationships are limited to the general statement that lace and embroidery are sourced from European houses. Detailed traceability of individual products is not offered. An annual social or environmental report has also not been published.
