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.
A natural connection
At Simone Pérèle, freedom has always been a story of women. Since 1948, the Maison has created lingerie designed to support women without ever restricting them. A vision initiated by Simone Pérèle herself, a visionary corsetière who helped liberate the female body from the rigid constructions of her time.
This same idea of freedom lies at the heart of CSAO, Compagnie du Sénégal et de l’Afrique de l’Ouest, founded by Valérie Schlumberger to celebrate artisanal craftsmanship and build lasting relationships with those who preserve and pass on these skills.
Today, her daughter Ondine Saglio continues this story, bringing this heritage to life between Dakar and 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.
Conceived between Paris and Dakar
The Simone Pérèle x CSAO collaboration celebrates a free-spirited, vibrant and deeply collective femininity.
A freedom that is worn as much in the heart as on the body.
