FREEDOM, PASSED DOWN FROM WOMAN TO WOMAN
Two family-run houses founded by women.
Two stories of heritage and transmission.
One shared vision of freedom.
Simone Pérèle and CSAO have imagined a limited-edition capsule, created between Paris and Dakar, celebrating women, craftsmanship and creativity.
Une rencontre évidente.
Chez Simone Pérèle, la liberté a toujours été une histoire de femmes.
Depuis 1948, la Maison imagine une lingerie qui accompagne les femmes sans jamais les contraindre. Une vision initiée par Simone Pérèle elle-même, corsetière visionnaire qui contribua à libérer le corps féminin des constructions rigides de son époque.
Cette même idée de liberté est au cœur de la CSAO, Compagnie du Sénégal et de l’Afrique de l’Ouest, fondée par Valérie Schlumberger pour valoriser les savoir-faire artisanaux et construire des liens durables avec celles et ceux qui les perpétuent.
Aujourd’hui, sa fille Ondine Saglio poursuit cette histoire et fait rayonner cet héritage entre Dakar et Paris.
A story of women and transmission
The meeting of Simone Pérèle and CSAO brings together two family-run houses shaped by several generations of women.
At CSAO, techniques and craftsmanship are passed on, notably through the Atelier des Rêves. There, women learn embroidery, develop their skills and gain greater financial independence.
An approach that naturally resonates with the story of Simone Pérèle, a family-run Maison for three generations, still led today by the founder’s granddaughter.
More than a collaboration, this capsule tells a story of a shared vision: women creating for women.
The pyjama
A cotton pyjama set featuring a matching jacket and trousers, inspired by the African wax-print patterns that are so dear to CSAO.
Comfortable, easy-to-wear pieces designed to be worn together or mixed and matched to suit your mood.
The embroidered T-shirt
An exclusive T-shirt designed by Ondine Saglio, featuring CSAO’s distinctive graphic and colourful codes.
A free-spirited, instinctive piece designed to be worn just as easily indoors as out.
The pouch
An iconic CSAO signature, the pouchis hand-embroidered in Dakar by the women of the Atelier des Rêves.
Pensée entre Paris et Dakar
La collaboration Simone Pérèle x CSAO célèbre une féminité libre, vivante et profondément collective.
Une liberté qui se porte autant à cœur qu’à corps.
