Simon Carter Accessories for Men

Simon Carter Cufflinks

Simon Carter is known as the ‘King of Cufflinks’ and all designs are exclusive to him. All cufflinks have a 5 year guarantee which covers all defects.  In order to create colour, Simon Carter uses glass fibre, enamel and crystal. The cats eye cufflinks use microfilaments of glass fibre, more commonly used in the fibre-optic industry. Simon Carter Cufflinks often use semi-precious stones such as mother of pearl, onyx, Haematite and Paua Shell. All cufflinks use a silver coloured plating called Dorium which is a very hard wearing alloy which is chip resistant and doesn’t tarnish.

Simon Carter Wallets

Simon Carter has a range of luxury mens leather wallets which appear quite classic, but all feature a unique comic strip lining and the occasional cinnamon colour detail.

Simon Carter Bags

The Simon Carter bag collection is arguably the star of the accessories offer. The new bags can be teamed up with the new Simon Carter cinnamon stitch small leather collection

Simon Carter Ties

Ties are sophisticated but never dull, some with floral or graphic embossing, made from Italian silk woven near lake Como and constructed in England. Colourways are varied but but indigos, chocolate and burnt oranges are a key trend for these accessories for Autumn Winter 08.

Simon Carter Socks

Autumn Winter 08 sees the launch of the first sock collection by Simon Carter. Choose from a fabulous selection of patterns such as bubbles and bold spiral stripes. Every pair is sold with a half-size wooden clothes peg to hang them on the washing line. Socks are Italian-made and 80% cotton, 20% nylon.

How Simon Carter began

Simon Carter may be regarded as the ‘King of Cufflinks’ but the designer and founder of the renowned accessories and menswear label began his career very differently. Raised in East Anglia, Simon came to London to study immunology at Chelsea College in the early 1980s but found he was drawn more towards the glitter and glamour of London’s fashion scene and the King’s road. Towards the end of his career he began working in Eat Your Heart Out, the trendy London, second hand boutique frequented by new romantics and glam rockers alike. It was here that his career path began to map itself out.

Simon Carter bought a 1930s pewter motorcycle brooch to sell in the shop, but quickly realised the potential behind it. A few weeks later, armed with 100 copies of the brooch, he began trying to sell them on the King’s Rd. He struck gold when Cobra & Bellamy bought 50 brooches.

Ten years later Simon Carter had cornered the cufflink market through iconic designs such as the ‘Aspirin’ cufflinks, which stored tablets within the actual cufflink and the Victorian subversive ranges. Ties, leather goods and a full formal and casual range of men’s clothing followed – all consistently adhering to the core values of the Simon Carter brand.
