I Spied Smythson…

The Telegraph Fashion is showing us some Christmas love in its I Spied section, where expert editors select the best fashion, accessories and beauty of the moment – great for gift ideas as December 25th draws ever closer…

 

Our Amber Nancy Tote, Nile Blue iPad Sleeve and hardbound ‘Shooting Notes’ book have been spied so far this week – why not show us some love too?

Emma Watson’s Perfect Parting Gift…

Emma Watson tells Stylist about the final days of filming Harry Potter: “I got all the crew members a little Smythson leather notebook that was engraved “To the faithful Harry Potter crew, thank you for everything” and then on the bag it had a Charles Dickens quote: “The pain of parting is nothing compared to the joy of meeting again.”

A visit from Holly herself…

Holly Fulton paid a visit to our New Bond Street store yesterday – she’s just returned from her native Scotland and is off to New York tomorrow …

We love the beautiful crystal cuffs she was wearing – her own designs of course!

 “I use a lot of crystal embellishment in my designs, so I had to add a bit of sparkle to this collection!” she said, referring to the lovely lemon yellow Soho diary with its striking smoke grey Swarovski slide closure…

Holly Fulton Windows…

We love our new Holly Fulton windows, featuring life-size cut outs of the art-deco girls that  inspired her unique illustrations on our books, diaries and stationery…

Here come the girls…

Our limited edition books, 2011 diaries and stationery designed in collaboration with rising star Holly Fulton will be available for pre-order from next week…

Showcasing her deco-inspired symmetrical illustrations engraved and printed onto coloured leather and card, the collection is based around Holly’s two favourite colour combinations: black with yellow and pale aqua.

“I love the drawn part of the design process so was delighted to have the opportunity to do a project that was based round this side of my work.  Drawing is one of one of my guilty pleasures and I’ll take any excuse to spend longer doing it!” she says…
