With the growing passion for exquisite and exotic fabric during Peter Simon’s tour in Asia, he founded a boutique in London in 1973 to incorporate the delicate and original embroideries and exotic motifs into apparels and accessories for women and children. All the works of art featuring meticulous hand craftsmanship are finished by the local hardworking women faraway. Ethnic running can be the evident label of Monsoon. By asking the experienced women inheriting a wide variety of intricate and traditional techniques to make and create motifs/fabrics, Monsoon not only manages to sustain and revive the age-old traditional hand-crafts but also make their lives better. Monsoon Accessorize Trust was set up to help disadvantaged women and children in Asia. What Monsoon contributes are not confined in providing customers with unique and exotic pieces, creating livelihoods, but also promote cross-cultural understanding.
