About Simba Jones

Established in 2010, Simba Jones operates from its own premises in Worcestershire. Simba (meaning "Lion" in Swahili) spent a happy and slightly wild childhood in Kenya on the east coast of Africa. She and her sister spent this blissful childhood barefoot, in the heat of Mombasa, surrounded by a menagerie of animals - dogs, ponies, tortoises and wild animals that visited their garden such as monitor lizards, monkeys and snakes. Simba and her sister spent most of their time swimming in the Indian Ocean, carefully avoiding the sea urchins; but if they weren't swimming, they were either flying about on ponies or motorbikes. Fast forward the decades and Simba now lives in Worcestershire with her husband and is still surrounded by animals (though not the monitor lizards, monkeys and snakes!) and often escapes onto the Malvern Hills either with her dog, a toy poodle called Inky, or on her horse Lola. Simba's love of Africa is deeply ingrained and has inspired this collection. The combination of the African childhood, the love of dogs and horses, rugged nature and being outdoors has created "Simba Jones".
