It may have taken 132 years, but Smythson – purveyor of discreet yet covetable stationery and luxury leather goods – is getting on the logomania train with the ‘S’ Monogram Capsule. The Bond Street retailers century old archive is an invaluable source of inspiration for the firms design team, who regularly consult it to provide the starting point – or finishing touch – for new products. Inspired by an archival print designed by founder Frank Smythson, the ‘S’ Monogram adorns a selection of travel bags, carryalls, totes and folios. Cut from rugged cotton/poly canvas and trimmed with supple black calfskin, the capsule’s design is both practical and timeless.
