In 2015, Simone launched Musgrave Gin, South Africa’s first craft gin.
The idea was first conceptualized while on a trendspotting trip to the UK, after noticing the craft trend shifting between categories with gin making the biggest impact.
Consumers are always looking for a story in their product. They want a drinking experience and ingredients with which they can both relate and be playful.
The rise in female entrepreneurs is a wave that she was very much at the forefront of, and she stands today as an inspiration not only to women everywhere but also to her two daughters who have supported her throughout it all.
It is her view that in this World and in Africa, a girl must be entrepreneurial in all that they do, and it is her goal to leave as much of a legacy with her children through her journey as with her end success.
Simone continues to channel her own advice in the hope that one day she will be able to simply ‘climb mountains and explore’ - ‘work hard, stay real, create partnerships, believe, and always be authentic and true.

Are You A Charlotte?
In 1997, actress Kristin Davis’ life was forever changed when she took on the role of Charlotte York in Sex and the City. As we watched Carrie, Samantha, Miranda and Charlotte navigate relationships in NYC, the show helped push once unacceptable conversation topics out of the shadows and altered the narrative around women and sex. We all saw ourselves in them as they searched for fulfillment in life, sex and friendships. Now, Kristin Davis wants to connect with you, the fans, and share untold stories and all the behind the scenes. Together, with Kristin and special guests, what will begin with Sex and the City will evolve into talks about themes that are still so relevant today. "Are you a Charlotte?" is much more than just rewatching this beloved show, it brings the past and the present together as we talk with heart, humor and of course some optimism.
