Whilst training as an immunologist in the early 1980s Simon Carter became inspired by the vibrant culture of London's King's Road. He had a vintage brooch copied in pewter and, after some time going from premises to premises in the King's Road sold the item to the jeweller's Cobra & Bellamy.^[1]

In 1995, Simon Carter was noted for creating the so-called 'Aspirin cufflink', which features a small headache pill sized screwtop container.^[2] The design saw Simon Carter dubbed "The King of Cufflinks" by Brighton-based Absolute magazine.^[3]

In 2013 Simon Carter Ltd. was awarded Drapers 'Menswear Brand Of the Year'.^[4]
