from 79 reviewsI 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!
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 :))
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!
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!
Love the colour, love the design, love the care and the craft that went into it.
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!!!
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.
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.
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!
Thankyou Simone for such a beautiful wallet. Your design and attention to detail is evident in the end product. Love the lavender colour too.

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.
