Smythson introduces a fresh new addition to the series of Panama notebooks for Spring/Summer 2012. Hand-bound in bright turquoise calf leather with a glossy crocodile-print finish, the compact book features 128 watermarked, gilt-edged leaves of ruled pale blue Featherweight paper, complete with a turquoise grosgrain ribbon marker. The leather's rich, opulent grain is gold-stamped with 'A BREATH OF FRESH AIR' on the front cover, and a discrete Smythson logo on the back. The notebook opens to reveal a sumptuous flash of coral satin-finish lining, producing a striking contrast that lends a contemporary, vibrant touch to this exquisitely crafted, covetable piece. As with all Smythson books and diaries, the spine is stitched to ensure optimum quality, durability and practicality.
