Written by the company

Underpinning all Simon carter products are the core qualities of original design, the best quality, and excellent value for money backed up by exemplary customer service. Despite the expansion of the business over the past 30 years I believe that a whimsical English touch of individuality still runs through all the products, just as it did in the early days.

Expensive boots that fall apart

18 months ago I bought a pair of Simon Carter tan leather boots, costing £120. I’ve kept them in their box, and worn them less than 30 times (if that). They are still in very good condition. Unfortunately however, the soles have come away from both uppers. Simon Carter have refused to consider repair or replacement. These boots look good, but my advice is do not buy this brand - they look decent, but fall apart quickly, and Simon Carter do not have enough faith in their own product to repair when necessary. So disappointing, please be warned!

Avoid!!! Not received item. Poor customer service

Ordered a jumper 12 days ago and I have still not received it. On purchasing, it said 48/72 hr delivery. I have sent numerous emails and filled in a message on there 'contact me' page and has zero response to neither. I cannot locate a telephone number, therefore I'm beginning to think I've been scammed. On this point I would advise people to avoid.

Ordered weeks and weeks ago

Ordered weeks and weeks ago. Tried to contact them numerous times. No one gets back to you. Very poor I don’t even know if I will receive the item. No updates on my order for weeks 🤦‍♀️

Unsatisfactory quality.

I bought a Simon Carter suitcase.It has been used a total of four times and the corner of the frame supporting a wheel has totally collapsed.
The quality of this product is very disappointing as it is obviously not robust or strong enough for the job.
Please let me know your thoughts.

Exceptional Service and Quality Products

I recently had the pleasure of ordering a belt and cufflinks from the Simon Carter website for my husband, and I am absolutely thrilled with my experience. While the products themselves are of outstanding quality, the exemplary customer service provided by a gentleman named Charlie (or Charles) from their dispatch team truly stood out.

Initially, I encountered a hiccup with my order as the desired belt was not available at the warehouse, and I needed the items delivered within 48 hours. This was entirely due to my oversight in planning, and I was worried that the gift for my husband would not arrive in time for our holiday abroad. However, Charlie swiftly stepped in and went above and beyond to locate the belt from a different store and ensure it was delivered to me promptly.

The level of care and dedication demonstrated by Charlie was truly remarkable. Not only did he manage to secure the item on short notice, but his reassurance and confidence throughout the process provided me with much-needed peace of mind during a stressful situation. His proactive approach and commitment to customer satisfaction are commendable traits that set Simon Carter apart from other brands.

Furthermore, I was thoroughly impressed by the packaging in which the products arrived. It reflected the brand's attention to detail and added an extra touch of elegance to the overall experience.

As a first-time customer, I am now a devoted fan of Simon Carter, and I can confidently say that this will not be my last purchase from the brand. Charlie's exceptional service has left a lasting impression on me, and I am grateful beyond words for his assistance.

In conclusion, if you're considering purchasing from Simon Carter, I wholeheartedly recommend doing so. And if you have the pleasure of interacting with Charlie, consider yourself fortunate - he is a true star who went above and beyond to save the day for me. Thank you, Charlie, and thank you, Simon Carter, for exceeding my expectations in every way possible.

Poor experience

Wrong item sent, and now I have to email them to get a returns label, and then include a note in the parcel with additional information. Very poor experience.

Continuous p oor quality, poor customer service. DO NOT USE

I’m liked the look of the shoes I ordered from Simon Carter (via Secret Sales), when they turned up they were damaged and looked as if they had been worn as there were small stones embedded in the base of the sole; the main part of the shoe is glued to the sole, rather than stitched throughout and this had started to come apart.

I returned them and received a full refund. Assuming it was a one off quality issue I made another order and a couple of weeks later I received the exact same pair of shoes back, with the same damage and same embedded stones. I was so annoyed that I left a note in the returns form under the comments section requesting a response to explain the condition. As I received no reply, I am leaving this review instead, hopefully they’ll see
This.

Excellent and Elegant Boots for men

I just bought myself a gorgeous pair of Terrier Tan Leather boots. I am very happy about it and love how elegant they are. The perfect shoes for a clean look. Oh, do you recommend any leather conditioner? Will be helpful to get your opinion on this :)

I personally highly recommend them.
Thank you!

I’ll start by saying I have several…

I’ll start by saying I have several Simon Carter shirts and love them BUT, as I wear them a lot two of the shirts have lost several buttons so I emailed Simon Carter to ask about replacements. NO EVEN AN ACKNOWLEDGMENT. VERY Disappointed

Reply from Simon Carter London

Hello,

I am very sorry to hear that haven't received a reply from us. I would normally respond within 48 hrs. Can I ask if you emailed us via our website? I can't seem to find an email that has come through to us regarding replacement buttons. If you could contact us at website@simoncarter.net then I can arrange to send some replacement buttons for you.

Kind Regards

Alex

Wish i could add photos.
I ordered the Darwin frog cufflinks.
There is chipping around the eye on arrival, the malachite isnt set accurately on the silver so there is visible overhang. It is also cut completely differently to how it is shown in the image.

Love their clothing range

Love their clothing range, a few of their shirts are in my all time favourites. Superb quality across the entire range. In fact I think I may go and make another purchase online now. Thank you.

Awful quality at exorbitant prices

I bought a silk sports jacket last year. Had to return it because the seams blew out across the back. Seems silk is not a strong enough material to hold sports jackets together. Didn't make a difference to the price tag. Paid heavily. They replaced it and the same thing has happened again. Seems Simon Carter likes to experiment with high-prices at the purchaser's expense and detriment to his bank account. Crap brand in my opinion.

Excellent, speedy and efficient service - thank you Malcolm!

As soon as I received the very generous email from Simon Carter, offering their lovely shirts at very cut-down prices, I decided to buy one each for my two sons. One order went through with the promised 'no delivery charge', but strangely, for the second there was a charge of £10.00. I almost didn't like to say anything as I felt I'd had a good deal anyway, but I did query this situation. Almost immediately I received a message from Malcolm Bell, who apologised and reinstated £10.00 to my account. Excellent, speedy and efficient service - I couldn't ask for more. Thank you Malcolm.
