I had a fantastic Saturday morning making a very cute bag charm. Simone was very helpful, explaining the process and demonstrating key techniques, lending a hand where needed. Being able to transform off cuts into a new object is also very meaningful. Overall, I had a great time and would recommend this workshop to anyone who is interested in leather craft!

i had such a wonderful 1 on 1 session with simone last week! having only worked minimally with leather prior it was incredibly helpful to have the expertise and professionalism of simone to guide and teach me so many little details that i can utilise in my own work.

The workshop was very detailed and catered to exactly what skills i was interested in developing, the mix of hands on work and observing was a perfect balance. I left with a wallet made start to finish...very satisfying!

the time and effort put into this workshop was amazing and an absolute bargain for the price. I would recommend in a second! BOOK!! :) xx thanks simone

this is such a versatile piece, i have been taking it with me everywhere over the holidays. it is so well made, i am so happy with my thick tote!

It is so sleek, compact and well constructed. I am so glad I chose Simetrie for my purchase!

OMG i love this bag, so beautifully made, perfect size for a night out. The colour i chose ( tan) goes so well with all my outfits.

I recently purchased the Bay Bag in Red Rock from Simone at the Big Design Market, what a find !! I am very happy with this beautiful and practical bag. I used it for a birthday dinner with the cute top handle, then the long strap crossbody for some retail therapy. I love the versatility, uniqueness and attention to detail that make it a stand out piece. Next is the Bay Bag in Black Rock.

I purchased a bespoke handbag from Simone at Simetrie. I was fortunate enough to meet her at the Carlton Design Markets where I saw her beautiful, Melbourne made handbags. My handbag is so beautiful and unique. Can’t wait to buy another one!

Bought for my partner for Christmas and she only just opened it today. “Best gift I’ve ever received” was what she said. Bag looks and smells beautiful, you’ve done such a glorious job. Hope you have some time to rest now!!

The perfect wallet for smaller bags or carrying in your pocket. The zipper glides smoothly and the magnetic closure hold nicely.
The look and feel of the wallet in matcha is stunning! Makes me happy every time I look at it.

I was looking for quality evening bag made with a commitment to ethical fashion practices when I came across Simone’s work. I couldn't be happier with my purchase. Simone has created a beautiful bag which reflects her attention to detail and high quality. The design is very thoughtful as it is roomy enough for essentials yet still looks stylish as a formal evening bag. The service and advice I received whilst choosing the style and colour was helpful and honest. Highly recommend.

My bay bag comfortably holds everything I need while keeping its svelte silhouette, and I love the super-handy myki pocket! I hadn't realised I'd always felt a little anxious about getting the card out of my bag in time for the gate, didn't like to take it out too early in case I dropped it etc. I've always been a casual-bag person — Crumpler, mattt, Nancybird — seldom fully leather. But this bag fits seamlessly into my life, and the beautiful matcha colour is like a neutral in my wardrobe — coordinates with some items and contrasts wonderfully with others, all with effortless elegance. It gets compliments every time I wear it. Thank you Simone for your well-thought-out design and meticulous leather-working skills!

Just what I was after for an ethical Christmas gift! Worth the extra money for the quality

I purchased the bay bag as a 40th birthday present for my wife. She absolutely loves it.
The bag is a really cool design and flawlessly crafted. Simone's communication was great.

I'd encourage everyone to purchase from artists such as Simone rather than the multinationals.

I bought this bag online for my 17 yo granddaughter in the US. She was absolutely delighted with it. I was also thrilled that it was sent by courier and arrived in good time for her birthday.

I bought my petite bay beg in shell at the Big Design Market in person. Simone was super helpful and easy to work with. I was blown away at how beautiful the designs were for a handmade bag. I had a small issue with my bag and Simone was fantastic in helping me resolve it in a satisfactory way very quickly.

This tote bag is not only gorgeous, it is functional. It was made with care and built to last. Beautiful colors, high quality work, really nice fabric. All the details have been taken care of - pockets, key ring, size, everything. It is worth every penny and more. The world needs more simetrie!

I’ve admired the busyman work for years as I’ve dreamed up the perfect cycling kit, and was excited to see this collaboration for an every day accessory. The wallet is exactly what you would expect - sleek and elegant, with nothing beyond the necessities. I certainly plan to carry this for many years to come and hope to see this remain on offer for future gifts!

I absolutely adore my new Bay Bag / Red Rock (tan). The colour is stunning and goes with everything!
It is the perfect size for day or night. The leather quality is wonderful. It is sleek and timeless. I'm so happy with my purchase! This is truely an investment piece.
I've been on the hunt for a new bag for a little while and i'm so glad I came across Simone from Simétrie. Keep up the great work!

I had initially contacted Simone with regards to making a pattern for a leather backpack. As a hobbyist, this was something that I had not yet attempted as I found it very daunting. Simone was incredibly knowledgeable and patient. She took the time to demonstrate each step, provide feedback on my technique, answer any questions that I had, as well as offered helpful tips and tricks for achieving professional-looking results. I felt comfortable and supported throughout the workshop and would highly recommend it to anyone interested in learning about leather working and/or furthering their craft.

Purchased Jay-El beeswax leather dressing, very impressed with impact on quality leather bags and belts. Great delivery service.

I love it at my first sight in the market.Then I ordened it.I got it from express so fast.Everythings is so nice.

I absolutely love petit bay bag in mist blue! I had been eyeing it off for a while and then decided to make the decision after seeing Simone’s pop up at the design market. I was lucky enough to schedule a personal appointment and got to look at all of Simone’s gorgeous range and the craftsmanship of all her pieces. When I bought it, I thought it would be a special occasion bag but its size is so perfect to carry all my necessities and now I use it everyday! All the compartments are incredible and easy to use the middle card holder is perfect, magnetic front and zip all carry purpose for my phone, deodorant, makeup, keys, it surprises me how much it holds!! The beauty of the leather has gotten through even rainy days. I love that I can take off the long strap for when I want to wear it out for dinner or a special occasion. I love it!! Thank you so much for this beautiful handmade bag, I get compliments every time I wear it and hope if your looking to buy one… do it, the quality is something you can’t get unless your spending $$$$ you won’t regret! xx

I bought a mini bag from her at the Makers and shakers market. Excellent quality and design, I’ve been using it everyday!

I had the best weekend making this kit. All of the supplies are nice quality (esp. the gorgeous zipper!), and the video instructions were helpful and went at a great pace for me as a total beginner. I'm super happy with the final result and can't believe I made this myself! The option to emboss was an extra nice touch that makes it feel even more special. I can't wait to make another kit!

Love love love. This is a classy version of a cross body. The construction and materials are gorgeous. And for a plus size gal the strap is plenty big enough!
