This
season’s hottest accessory is a hat from Simon and Mary!
Simon
and Mary is a heritage brand established in 1935. The company started when Mordechai
Pozniak (Simon’s father) brought his cap factory from Poland to Johannesburg. Simon
Pozniak eventually took the leading role in the company and grew it into one of
Africa’s most renowned wool felt hat-manufacturing plants. Simon’s wife Leah
(whom he lovingly coined Mary after reading a novel) joined the business
working alongside Simon and attending to all non-manufacturing needs. In 1973,
Simon’s youngest son, Julian, eagerly entered the family business with Robert
his oldest son joining in 1988. Today a fourth generation Pozniak, Dean, who
entered the business in 2008, heads the brand & factory with the aim of
continuing the legacy created by Simon.
Simon
and Mary is a Johannesburg based millinery. Their amazing hats are available in
South Africa and Australia. Take a look at their Summer 2015 collection:
