journal

six years of mindfully made pieces ~ reflecting on how far i've come, and the journey ahead. as simétrie grows and evolves, i'm embracing balance in all its forms. read my latest journal entry to learn about some exciting changes coming in 2025.

ahead of Reconciliation Week 2023, simétrie sat down with Wergaia woman, Gabby Parker Capes, to do a takeover on our blog around this year's focus to “be a voice for a generation.”

amongst beautiful discussion, Gabby gets to the core of what it means for brands and simétrie to be allies for First Nations communities.

Meet our founder, Simone Agius, as she shares her story about why she set out to create simétrie; the slow fashion bag brand that makes us feel good without impacting our people or our planet.

as a brand, we have built our ethos on working in harmony with the people and places that we come across. minimising our impact on the planet is critical in our attempt to create timeless wares that balance design and our impact. 

PHD student and dear friend of simétrie, Julia English, shares her understandings and findings on how the Circular Economy could be the solution to our hyper-consumerist world without having to go completely off the grid, Bear Grylls style. 

we share with you the craftsmanship and process that goes into each of our made-to-order Universal Tote Packs, which take over 17 hours to make in our Brunswick atelier. by making each of these totes through a made-to-order model, each piece receives the love and attention it truly deserves. 

to celebrate Plastic Free July, we are sharing our sourcing, manufacturing and packaging processes to reduce plastic waste and our overall environmental impact.

to celebrate the re-stocking of our much-loved Thick Tote Bag, in collaboration with Mosey Me, we are shining a spotlight on the craftswoman behind each tote - Ballarat based, Kim Ryan.

this week we look at two notable movements, Fashion Revolution Week and Earth Day, and discuss the fashion industry’s impact on the planet.
