Smythson of Bond Street is a British manufacturer of luxury stationery, leather goods, diaries, and fashion products based in London, England. Frank Smythson opened his first shop in 1887 at 133, New Bond Street, London. The Queen writes on Smythson's stationery and uses a Smythson diary. So does Prince Charles and so did Diana, Princess of Wales. Smythson also provided black-bound visitors' books for President Kennedy's funeral. Top end Smythson stationery uses exquisite detailing such as 24-carat gilded edges, hand-painted borders, engraved motifs and monograms. Smythson's men's luxury range includes handmade leather travel accessories and luggage as well as beautifully-made luxury leather wallets.

Smythson of Bond Street is one of the great British success stories in the luxury goods industry over the last twenty years. The brand has continued to prosper under independent ownership and highly individualistic design direction. Smythson offers customers a 21st century vision of leather craftsmanship, while retaining all the positive aspects inherent in the British tradition. One of the few independent British brands left with a flagship shop on New Bond Street, Smythson has now connected with a new generation of luxury goods shoppers who view it as a cool, high end, fashionable brand. Smythson has also always taken the Internet seriously, and the Smythson.com website is comparatively advanced in its scope and interactive options for customers. Our current favourite from Smythson is the Limited edition box of stunning correspondence cards designed by Giles Deacon.
