Explore the original Smythson x Thomas Lélu collection in cerulean, black and Nile Blue.
Plucked from his digital world and transported to our Panama leather classics, the collection comprises a trio of Lélu’s quotes stamped in foiled script across a selection of notebooks and travel accessories in cerulean, black and Nile Blue.
Lélu visited our UK workshop to see the making of the collection firsthand and meet the artisans bringing it to life. From leather cutting to notebook binding, he stepped inside the process and even tried his hand at our storied craft.
