Built From Within
Every Charles Simon piece is meticulously crafted in-house at our Montreal atelier. This integrated process preserves the integrity of our vision from the initial concept to the final inspection. By overseeing each step under one roof, we ensure an exceptional standard of quality, consistency, and refinement.
You Are What You Work With
Our unwavering dedication to excellence begins with the selection of only the most exquisite materials for our handmade accessories.
From supple, full-grain Taurillon leather to robust, ultra-light carbon fiber and anodized aluminum, every material is chosen with intention—for its performance, its quality, and its enduring beauty.
We source from trusted partners who share our standards, ensuring that every component supports not just the look and feel of our creations, but their integrity over time.
The Making Of Excellence
Each Charles Simon accessory begins and ends in our Montreal atelier. From initial sketches to preparing the materials, assembling the mechanisms, and final packaging—every step unfolds under one roof. This holistic approach ensures that each piece reflects our singular vision, perfectly executed.
01. Cutting – Precision at the Origin
Every Charles Simon accessory begins with precision. The cutting process is where natural materials are transformed from their pure form into purposeful components. Each cut is made with exacting care, guided by expert hands, to ensure the integrity of every shape. This initial expression of intention is an essential act that sets the tone for everything that follows.
02. Leatherwork – Crafting Connections
In this stage, individual components are joined to form a unified whole. Materials are glued, sewn, and edge-finished by hand with exacting care, ensuring an elegant finish and lasting refinement. Every step—measured, deliberate, and methodical—reinforces our commitment to excellence down to the detail.
03. Technical Assembly – Engineered to Perform
The mechanical elements within a Charles Simon piece—from hinges to closures and our protective locking system—are all developed, engineered, and assembled in-house. Made from aerospace grade anodized aluminum and carbon fiber, the components making up the structure of our accessories are precisely machined and and assembled with exact alignment. The result is a subtle sophistication: mechanisms that operate with seamless ease, engineered not to be seen, but to be felt in their flawless function.
"Keeping every step of creation in-house is fundamental to our ethos. It allows us to preserve the purity of our vision, maintain meticulous control over quality, and respond with agility and intention at every stage. Through this seamless integration of vision and craft, each accessory emerges with the refined excellence that is central to Charles Simon."
04. Personalization – Make it Yours
We create the experience of owning something truly exceptional. Our comprehensive Personalization Service invites you to bring your vision to life, whether through bespoke color combinations, hot stamped initials, or a laser engraved personal message. Each detail is carefully considered, transforming our accessories into singular expressions of style—where your story becomes part of the design’s enduring elegance.
05. Quality Control – The Final Standard
Before leaving our atelier and heading towards their new home, every Charles Simon accessory undergoes rigorous quality control to ensure flawless execution. Meticulous inspections at each stage guarantee that form, function, and finish meet our uncompromising standards. This unwavering attention to detail preserves the integrity of our work, ensuring that you receive nothing but the best.
06. Packaging – A Thoughtful Conclusion
Charles Simon orders are carefully packed by hand by our artisans, making sure every detail is treated with the same care as the accessory itself. Our packaging is made from recycled materials, reflecting our commitment to conscious consumption and our efforts towards sustainability without compromising on sophistication. To complete the experience, every order is accompanied by a personalized note—adding a thoughtful touch that connects you directly to our atelier.
