Hi Simon. I will never forget you. Not only you are a wonderful designer and I purchased the most beautiful clothes from you for my store but you Philosophy and wisdom has inspired me to write and paint, to travel. When I find the picture we took together from my last buying trip, I will send it to you. It is beautiful and there is so much beauty in this coat. I miss your beautiful collection and thank you for being wonderful you.Mary

Hi Mary,
Thank you for reaching out and for your lovely comments.
Hope all is great with you! We look forward to seeing your photo when you find it.
All the best!

Hello, I have been haunted by a coat I wore and loved since 1998/99. Bought that winter in a dark time, and it kind of saved my life- became a cocoon, and then gave me new strength and joy. I'm not sure, but I believe it was Simon Chang, I seem to recall the black buttons with his name. I had to let it go in 2019, and don't have a picture. Did Simon produce a deep sapphire blue coat with black faux fur collar and cuffs? The fabric had silver dragons, quite subtle. And it had patch pockets. I absolutely loved that coat, and have looked for it, hoping someone has it, and wants to re-sell it. Thankyou for addressing this haunting mystery for me!

Hi Alison,
This certainly sounds like it may be one of Simon's coats.
He did do a collection with a dragon motif in the textile.
We will need some time to search our archives to see what reference materiel we can find. We have your email and will get back to you with the results of our investigation.
Thank you!

Would love to find more designer plus size swimsuits. Bandeau style seems a good style for larger sizes. I like the classic black bandeau with the 3 beads in front. Can not find too many good quality swim suits , or tankinis for travel. We get older, but still like fashion. Have owned many of your pieces through the years.❤️

Hi Carre!
Simon doesn't have a specific plus size swimsuit collection however, this year the Simon Chang Solutions newest collection at Winners and Marshalls does feature a great selection of swimwuits for fuller figured women include a great assortment of tankinis.
All the best!

I found this gorgeous jacket at a vintage shop here in Seattle. Can you tell me when it was made?

Hi Beth,
This jacket is from Simon Chang’s Fall/Winter 2014 collection.
This piece is from the “Boiling Me Softly” collection - all the jackets and coats were create with boiled fabric (50% wool/ 50% polyester).
This beautiful orange jacket was fully lined and featured lovely stone embellishment on the collar.

All the best

Are you still making jeans? I haven’t been able to find them in the Vancouver area any more.
Your jeans were the only ones that fit my “bigger hips, smaller waist” figure.
I’m now down to my last pair and would love some new ones.
Enjoyed the story about you on the Vancouver news tonight. We love Chinatown and have been saddened to see the changes there.
Sandra

Hi Sandra,
Thank you for reaching out and providing your comments.
Yes, Simon Chang pants and jeans are still being produced. This particular style is no longer available however there are some great new models.
The Simon Chang jeans are available in BC at Suzanne's stores.
All the best!

Hello Simon.
I bought a beautiful Navy Blue Linen double Breasted dress with Gold buttons.(1985). I loved that dress and when my daughter grew up she borrowed it to graduate from High School . It was Iconic and wish I had kept it. Thank you for being so creative and innovative.

I bought the most beautiful Simon Chang bed sheets years ago! My Grandmother and I were at the Bay and had to have them. The sheets are blue and white with an amazing decorative print of stars and moons. To this day, I still have the top sheet and one reaming pillowcase! I will not get rid of them ever. They are so soft and special. You sure designed a great set!

Hi Gina,
Thank you for reaching out to Simon Chang with your lovely story. We've heard from other people who still have some of Simon's Celestial Zodiac bedding collection. It was a very successful and unique collection. How wonderful to lay your head to rest and sleep among the stars!
All the best!

I absolutely love Simons clothes. I worked for World Vision in the 80's and did not have a lot of money for clothes, so I wore Simons clothes forever. I had a red Jacket with a black velvet collar, pockets, and bottoms, a blue coat and lots of his jeans. I can see why the Quebec police selected Simon to design their uniforms-always so stylish, and beautifully made. It is hard to find his clothes now, so sad as Simon know how to design clothes that look great on all women. Thank you Simon!!!!

Could you give me any information on this lovely hat?
Hi Kelly,
We don't actually see the hat, but judging by the label it's one of Simon's hats from the late 80's. Simon was never a milliner, so when he wanted to design a hat collection to compliment his fashions he partnered with Kates Millenery Ltd., a professional millenery company owned by Mr. Irving Kates and based in downtown Montreal on President Kennedy and Parc Avenue. It was a successful licensing partnership. At that time in fashion, a hat was like the cherry on a sundae!

Where can I buy Simon Chang swimwear. I always bought at Costco but there hasn’t been a special event with your swimwear for way too long. Is there a website. I love your swimwear. Thanks

Hi Patti,
Happy New Year 2024!
The newest Simon Chang Swimwear collection is available exclusively at Winners and Marshalls across Canada. The collection is in stores now and features innovative fabric technologies for odour resistance between wear/washes, UPF 50 sun protection, and significantly reduced drying time.
Unfortunately, the Simon Chang Swimwear collection is not available online.
We hope you're able to visit Winners and Marshalls stores near you and find new Simon Chang swimwear to enjoy!
All the best!

Hi,
I have a Simon Chang handbag that I love but it has frayed on the handle. Can you suggest any place in Calgary that I could take it for repair? Thanks

Hi Lynne,
This is often tricky and not every had bag can be repaired after wear-and-tear, but the best place to inquire is with shoe repair companies.
Shoe repair requires intricate manual dexterity and uses precision equipment along with various adhesives and sealing products which allows them to repair many things other than shoes and boots, ie. Luggage, belts, and handbags.
We don’t actually know companies in Calgary but hopefully you will be able to easily find a local shoe repair.

Best of luck!

Hi I am a three kids' mom and have a daughter who is doing figure skate, as I am a simon's fan and really hope simon can design some figure skate dress for the girls with Canada elements, I will really appreciate that.

Hello Aileen,

Thank you for reaching out to Simon Chang and sharing the lovely photo. Simon only creates ready to wear fashion. Unfortunately, he does not do any custom work like figure skating dresses, sorry.

We wish you all the best!

It was my greatest honor when I met Simon in person and he is so gracious. I used to work at the Bay ladles designer dept and sold Simon fashions back in 1988 and his fashion line is amazing. Simon is simply an amazing person.

I have bought my first pair of simon chang pants. I love love them. I would love to be able to buy more in a TALL size. I am 5 ft 10 inches and have a very difficult time finding cute and fashionable pants that are long enough for me!. Would the company make a pair or two for me?

Answer:
Hi Annette,
Unfortunately, it’s not possible in commercial manufacturing to adjust an entire production in order to produce one or two longer pairs. Sorry! Hopefully you will enjoy your Simon Chang pants and find other styles where you’re comfortable with the length.
All the best!

My mother-in-law has kept whole wardrobes of Simon Chang business clothes for decades (size 8) and now that she has downsized her house and has health issues, I inherited all of her clothes. Do you have any suggestion on how I could connect with customers that would buy some of it?

Answer: Hi Véronique,
We’ve noticed through the years that the ecommerce platform Poshmark.ca often has Vintage Simon Chang pieces for sale. This might be a good option for you to consider.The other suggestion might be thrift/vintage consignment stores. Quality Vintage pieces are extremely popular these days!
Best of luck!

Your pants fit like a glove. and look so stylish with any top.
Why is it so hard to find them?

Hi Lee,
We are only in some independent boutiques in Ontario. The shop nearest to you in Brantford would be Fine Feathers in Paris, ON. I would recommend calling them first to inquire about what they have available.
If you would like to reach out to us via our contact page and provide your email address, we can send you a list of all Ontario retailers in case there are other locations that might be convenient for you.
All the best!

Love your golfing shorts but can’t find them anywhere, HELP

Answer: Hi Lori,
In a recent collection there were some beautiful pastel shorts but we don't know which stores might still have inventory. Here are the names of stores in London that sell Simon Chang fashion are - Kimberley's Fashions, Knock Out Fashions, and Sharon's of Hyde Park. We hope that one of these stores might be able to help you.
All the best!

Thank you so much - I found a pair of jeans in a second hand store and they were like a real pair of sisterhood of traveling pants jeans. They fit me so well. Thank you for showing me that a great fit is affordable and possible. I just bought a couple more of your jeans online and they both fit nicely as well. So grateful to have discovered your fashion

I am 78 years young just now and discovered your talent some 24 years ago.
In 1998 my husband and I were invited to a beautiful resort in Aruba. I needed swimwear. I was a lot younger, had a better shape and not 1tropical looking bathingsuit to my name. I went to the Bay store in my area because I knew they had swimsuits by Sea Queen. I searched. I found your line and BINGO. My favourite was a Raspberry coloured shirred bodice one piece. I got lots of compliments on from my American Friends. Never forgot that and still til this day always look for your designs. I am slightly heavier now (ba ha ha ha) but still look & buy when I do find what I like) Thanks for all you do for us old gals as well as the model typesl as we were one thise girls and still like to have fun.

The line of pants that you made for Laura were (are?) absolute perfection. Even though they were out of my price range I would scour Laura's outlets and pray that I would find my holy grail of pants. A couple of times I got insanely lucky and found pairs at resellers that didn't know what they had. As a tall plus size woman, it is incredibly hard to find pants that not only fit well but are well made from great fabric with awesome detailing. If you are selling them through a different retailer, and have a moment, could you please tell me which one? If you are no longer producing these wonders of fabulous, but thinking of possibly making them again, I hope this message is enough to tip you in the positive direction. :-)
In any event I wanted to thank you for making items that could make the non-skinny girls look great and feel fantastic.

Take care, be safe, stay well!! Have a wonderful day!
Abiola A.

I am currently a patient at St.Joesph Hospital Acute Mental Health and I came across Simon’s line of slippers in the convenient store of the hospital.

I just got to say THANK YOU SIMON for the coziest and most comfortable piece of fashion that I currently have with me.

I feel like I’ve been blessed by an Angel <3

Years ago I purchased, from Sears, your iconic design, double-strap one piece bathing suit. The black and white design was amazing. I had more remarks on it. I cannot find a size 14-16 anywhere, but would love to have 2 more since I wore out the other one.
