Beautiful gift

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

Thank you so much! Xxx

Perfect

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.

Beautiful gift

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.

Gorgeous bag and fantastic service

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.

Thank you so much Wendy! <3

Perfection!

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!

Thank you so so much for taking the time to leave a review. I am so glad you love the Thick Tote and that you've found simétrie!

Fantastic!

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!

Hi Josh, Thanks so much for taking the time to leave such a lovely review. I will be sure to pass this onto Busyman too. He will be so chuffed to hear you've been following his work. Hope to be able to help you with future gifts as well! Thank you for supporting our craft, Simone.

My new favourite bag

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!

thank you so much for taking the time to leave a review Carla, i am so thrilled that you love your Bay Bag in Red Rock. thank you for choosing simétrie!

Will do again!

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.

Thank you so much for the review Ben. I am thrilled to hear that you had such a great experience during the private workshop. I look forward to seeing your backpack come together and to working with you again in the future.

Great Quality Beeswax

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

thanks so much Warren, so glad you like the product!!

Love at first sight!

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

You angel!! Thanks for leaving such a beautiful review. I'm so happy to read how much you are loving your petit bay bag ~ Simone xx

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

Thanks so much for leaving a review Nancy, I am so glad you love the Petit Bay Bag!

So fun - I can't believe I made this myself!

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!

Classy cool

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!

Thanks so much for taking the time to leave a review. I'm so glad you love the xl crescent moon!

In love with the bag!!!

We went to try one of the beautiful lune bags in red rock and I have to say I'm absolutely in love with it.
Simone was super nice and sweet and showed me a couple of models in her workshop. If you plan on going to the workshop you have to get an appointment with her first, so keep that in mind.
The bags are carefully manufactured with cow and kangaroo leather. She achieves beautiful colours through plant dying and mixed dyes (she told me which ones but I forgot again :/ ). Would recommend to anyone who wants a high quality product that is consciously and ethically made with love <3.
Thank you for all of your explanations and the beautiful bag I'm taking home :))

The perfect bag

I adore my Petit Bay Bag! I love dressing up my everyday outfits with it, and it also works perfectly as my *going out* bag.
I love all the compartments. Nothing has fallen out and everything has a place. It looks small but can fit my wallet, lip balm, sunnies, mini sunscreen, phone and keys in it securely. It might actually be the perfect bag!

Elegance and perfection

Love this mini! The blue is simply gorgeous, and the design is so elegant and unique. Great compartments, it’s clear that a lot of thought and care went into the design and making of this. My new favourite bag, matches everything in my wardrobe so effortlessly. Divine!

Great wallet

Love the colour, love the design, love the care and the craft that went into it.

Love taking this everywhere!!

I literally love this bag! I never generally used one and would only carry what I could easily fit in my pockets/hands, but this bag has changed my life. Looks good with everythinggg, can be dressed up or down. The bovine leather and general finish is such a high quality. Love love love!!!

Timeless work bag

Absolutely love the Universal Tote Bag. I've been using it for 3 years now and it's still a staple in my wardrobe. It goes with everything! In a pinch the easy transition from tote to backpack is super handy. I fit my 16" MacBook, a large water bottle, wallet, wires and things in there easily. The leather has aged beautifully and is easy to maintain (I don't). Honestly the pictures on the site don't do it justice.

A new icon! Perfect everyday mini bag

Frankly obsessed. I am a small-bag-for-erryday girlie and this is literally perfect. More than enough space with useful, easily accessible compartments in a chic, streamlined style. The finishing is exquisite and it’s obvious a lot of love has gone in to the construction. I got Mist Blue and the colour is GORGEOUS. I know I’ll be using this for years to come.

Thoughtful Design, Beautifully Handcrafted. My new go-to!

I am so happy with my Petit Bay Bag in Black Rock and it’s my new daily wear. It’s clear a lot of thought has gone into the design of the different compartments. I can comfortably carry my sunglasses, keys, phone, cards + a few odds and ends (lipstick, compact etc) with room to spare. It is sleek, elegant and I love that I can as easily wear it with a dressier look as I can with something paired back and casual. Beautifully considered design, artfully finished. Thank you simétrie!

P.S. the hand finished touches on the packaging were a bonus surprise!

Such a beautiful bag

hello Simone, I received the beautiful lavender moon bag the other day & you have done a wonderful job. What a lovely colour..Both sides of the straps can be changed, allowing for a balanced adjustment - great idea! Thanks so very much.

Perfect travel bag

This is my new forever bag for travel - deceptively roomy with two zipped compartments, it’s perfect for carrying all your essentials with style. It literally matches every outfit I have and doesn’t feel bulky even when I have crammed it full of stuff. Can’t wait to use it again every single day of my upcoming Europe trip.
