New for Spring/Summer 2012, this diary is hand-bound in turquoise crocodile-print calf leather with contrasting flashes of coral satin-finish lining. The cover's rich grain is complemented by a golden brass slide with a bright coral shagreen inlay and engraved Smythson logo. The gilded pages include a week-to-view diary with 'to do' lists on each facing page, sixty-four leaves of ruled paper for notes, and two turquoise grosgrain ribbon markers.
The limited edition title page features a company timeline to celebrate Smythson's 125th anniversary, followed by a comprehensive list of important British and American dates, events and venues. A slim pocket in the inside back cover is designed to hold a removable Smythson address booklet. As with all Smythson books and diaries, the spine is stitched to ensure optimum quality, durability and practicality.
