Smythson

We endeavour to make the ordinary extraordinary and the everyday timeless. Rooted in deep heritage, we represent over 130 years of British luxury leather goods at their most refined, with an enduring dedication to unrivalled craftsmanship. Smythson has long catered to the highly discerning, from European Royalty and the Indian Maharajas to the likes of Grace Kelly, Katharine Hepburn, Claudette Colbert and Vivien Leigh. Influential figures, leading extraordinary lives, from Sigmund Freud to Sir Winston Churchill, recognised the timeless purity of our creations. Today, that legacy continues - a distinctly unique, extraordinary brand catering to extraordinary people. [...] Frank Smythson opened his first boutique on Bond Street providing 'stationery and fancy articles of a high-class character'. [...] Smythson was commissioned to produce the stationery for each of Her Majesty's residences.
