It's A Red Letter Day When You Indulge At Smithson of Bond Street



Exclusivity and luxury are the two watchwords for Smithson of Bond Street. You don't have to go to London to partake of the gorgeous leather goods and personal stationery either. There are all of four Smithson stores worldwide. Bond Street, London of course was the first home for the branded leather and paper makers but others thrive in the rich areas of New York, Hong Kong and Rodeo Drive in Los Angeles.

The stationery is milled and watermarked in great Britain. Their 'Plain Writing Paper' which is anything but plain, the Black Labrador Motif correspondence cards are understated elegance and the superb Smithson Pigskin Leather correspondence box are all available in all the stores and on line at www.smithson.com.

Now my wife is a lady of letters. She is one of the few people left in the World who takes great pleasure in putting pen to paper and her thoughts in hand writing to all her family and friends. Each letter is an individual special gift to the recipient. What is more it is a huge pleasure for her to write them. The pleasurable writing rite is made even more special when she uses her own stationery from Smithson of Bond Street. It is great for me too since I am never at a loss for special gifts for her on every occasion. The Los Angeles store is a huge treat in itself.

Smithson of Bond Street are very wise and good at marketing specialist stationery and gift ideas to fit in with the culture of Los Angeles. This is of course the Hollywood movie business culture. So get on line or get down to the store to see the exclusive Los Angeles collection of Director's Notes, Film Notes, L.A. Notes, and even California Wine Notes. The stationery is bound in leather covers in every tasteful color, hand tooled and stitched binding. The gilded edging makes them extra special like prayer books. And to give you a small idea of the prices the 'classic manuscript' book starts as low as $205.

It's the combination of the finest quality leather and paper that really makes Smithson's reputation but their Nancy bags of pure leather are exquisite too. These beauties come in an incredibly soft, butter yellow version but also in all the expected leather colors to complement your shoes. The smaller versions starts at just under $1400.

Then there is the timeless classic Lilac collection from Smithson of Bond Street This is a designer range of luxury pieces from the cosmetics case, clutch bag, and every other style and function bags right up to the top of the range 5 Drawer Jewelry Box, which retails for $3695.00. But really you can't get a true feel for the opulence of the Smithson of Bond Street retail experience without spending time, lots of time, in the North Rodeo Drive and Dayton Way store at number 222. Whet your appetite on line at the website.
