Our Story
Original Aspiration | Elegance Without the Pain of Compromise
SIMONE was born from a shared regret among countless women: luxury high heels on the market always force people to choose between stunning appearance and wearable comfort. Elegant silhouettes catch the eye yet rub blisters, cramp toes and leave feet aching after long hours of standing; footwear built for comfort lacks premium texture and sleek lines.
Refusing to accept this dilemma, we founded SIMONE and set comfort as the core standard of luxury leather shoes. During the handcrafted last-making stage, all styles integrate ergonomic design: roomier toe boxes, custom curved arch support, thick padded lining and shock-absorbing rubber outsoles. We select imported premium full-grain leather, which artisans soften by hand to remove rigid texture, balancing a high-end look with all-day walking ease.
At SIMONE, luxury never comes at the cost of comfort. Slip on a pair of handcrafted leather heels, and you gain striking, poised elegance alongside the freedom to move effortlessly through your entire day.
Craftsmanship | The Warmth of Hand-Stitched Shoemaking
Mass production machinery can replicate shoe silhouettes, yet it cannot recreate the unique warmth of handmade craftsmanship — the very reason SIMONE adheres to fully handcrafted shoemaking.
We reject simplified mechanical processes. Every pair of shoes goes through over a hundred handmade procedures completed independently by seasoned artisans with over a decade of experience. From manual sorting, cutting and softening of premium leather to upper stitching, inner padding and outsole bonding, every detail is precisely calibrated by hand. Machines merely follow fixed molds, while craftsmen adjust curves according to leather grain, refine fit and eliminate stiff seams that cause friction.
Slow work creates fine goods, and handcraftsmanship breathes life into leather. SIMONE ignores fast-fashion trends, focusing on perfecting every stitch and curve. Our time-honored handcraftsmanship embodies the exclusive premium texture of fine leather, crafting durable, timeless leather heels that mold perfectly to your feet over time.
Leather | Defining True Light Luxury with Top-Grade Hide
Premium leather is SIMONE’s non-negotiable quality bottom line, and our core distinction from ordinary footwear brands.
We source imported European full-grain leather worldwide, including buttery lambskin, glossy patent leather, vintage crocodile-embossed cowhide and breathable calfskin. All flawed hides are discarded, and synthetic leather or coated faux leather is strictly rejected. Natural leather features one-of-a-kind grain, breathes freely without trapping heat, and gradually molds to your foot to form a soft silhouette unique to the wearer.
Artisans soften each hide by hand to eliminate the stiff, blister-causing stiffness of new shoes, paired with comfort-focused inner structures built by hand. SIMONE believes true luxury lies not only in eye-catching delicate appearances, but also in the silky touch of leather under your fingertips, and the long-lasting, unrestricted comfort of feet gently wrapped in genuine hide.
