Sustainable fashion since 2017
Founded in 2017, Simaru GmbH produces high-quality fashion accessories made of cork and leather. The quality and price of our products are our top priority. Because, in our view, only long-lasting products that are affordable to the masses are sustainable.
The team
Pablo
Born in Munich, Pablo Pajares inherited his Peruvian roots and his passion for fashion from his father, who has been enriching German markets and festivals with Peruvian handicrafts for decades. Sometimes the apple really doesn't fall far from the tree...
Luke
Lukas, a trained electrician and prospective master's student in Big Data & Business Analytics, hails from Karlsfeld in northern Munich. Lukas and Pablo have been Simaru's management duo since day one and complement each other perfectly.
Mirka
Mirka is the heart and soul of the production process. Limiting her responsibilities to quality management and customer support wouldn't do her justice. Mirka encompasses many organizational tasks.
Kai
Born in Stralsund and moved here in 2013, the former sports journalist and sports data analyst at Simaru focuses on data analysis and the written word. He pens product descriptions, newsletters, and social media content.
Our values
Simaru is committed to conscious consumption, in keeping with the spirit of slow fashion. Therefore, durability plays a central role in the manufacturing of our products. A product that lasts a long time and doesn't need to be replaced every few months conserves resources and protects our environment.
SUSTAINABILITY FOR ALL
Since its founding in 2010, Simaru has stood for sustainable fashion and accessories, and our core philosophy hasn't changed since then. We want to offer sustainable, high-quality products at fair prices, making them accessible to a broad audience. In our opinion, sustainable fashion shouldn't be an exclusive commodity for those with slightly larger budgets, but should be accessible to everyone.
ECOLOGICALLY PACKAGED
For us, sustainability doesn't end with the finished product. From the continuously regrowing bark of the cork oak, to vegetable-tanned leather without environmentally harmful chemicals, to the shortest possible transport routes, to environmentally friendly packaging – we are constantly exploring new ways to make our products as sustainable as possible.
SOCIAL RESPONSIBILITY
Sustainability also means ensuring fair working conditions for all employees in the company. We pay our employees exemplary wages and have long-standing partnerships with family businesses. This creates a pleasant working environment with satisfied and motivated employees who are 100 percent behind Simaru and our products.
THINK GLOBAL, ACT LOCAL
Following this motto, we at Simaru want to make our contribution to environmental and climate protection through short transport routes. Therefore, it is important to us to manufacture our products in the EU and thus avoid long delivery routes. Thanks to short supply chains, for example, all materials are transported by land to their production site, eliminating the need for transport by sea or air.
