Smythson Notebooks

Smythson are perhaps most famous for their Panama notebooks, particularly the Nile Blue and Fuschia styles. The grained lambskin leather gives Smythson notebooks a smooth, luxurious finish, and most notebooks are available either titled (gold or silver blocked onto the front cover), untitled, or personalised with initials, dates and motifs. The watermarked pale blue Featherweight paper in Smythson notebooks is half the weight and thickness of normal paper, enabling Smythson to produce notebooks that are both slimline but still voluminous, with 128 individual leaves. Apart from the Panama range, Smythson also offer larger Premier notebooks, and a wide selection of notebooks with specific titles, such as Wedding Planner, Travels and Experiences, Places to Remember, Golf Notes and Restaurant Notes.

Smythson notebooks make an excellent choice of gift, as they are so many titles to choose from. Yummy Mummy, Inspiration and Ideas, Dreams and Thoughts, Food for Thought and Reach for the Stars are just some of the whimsical titles, suited to different characters and periods of life. Smythson also have a fantastic range of brown mara leather books, including travel journals, cellar books, game books, shooting records and scuba diving journals. Historically, Smythson have been famous for their Classic Floppy Manuscripts, a friend to writers down the years, and used by both Queen Victoria and Prince Albert for their literary endeavours. As with all Smythson goods, it is the attention to small details that set them apart from the competition. Bound by hand at the Smythson workshops in Hertfordshire, England.
