We believe that by aligning with Evereve, another female owned and operated business, we can inspire women from all over the globe to come together and help create a positive impact in their community.”
The mom-centric retailer will carry 11 Simbi designs for the summer season and will feature two signature Simbi styles – large and small charm bracelets.

Large charm bracelets feature handmade half-inch glazed clay beads, with a hand stamped, inspirational charm in bronze or silver. Small charm bracelets feature quarter-inch hand painted clay beads, with a small bronze hand stamped charm. Simbi’s one-of-a-kind wearable art is as unique as the person who wears it; charm bracelets can be worn solo or stacked for a colorful, fashion-forward look.
“At Evereve it’s the perfect storm when we find products that we love that also give back,” said Evereve fashion director Heidi Watson. “We believe in putting a spotlight on women entrepreneurs, meaningful causes and great fashion – our partnership with Simbi delivers on all fronts.”
