SMYTHSON X THOMAS LÉLU
The art of words
In a world increasingly dominated by online communication, there remains an undeniable charm in the written word – an art that Smythson has perfected for over a century. Our partnership with Paris-based artist Thomas Lélu, bridges the analogue and digital worlds, bringing together Smythson’s and Lélu’s appreciation for the worlds of writing, expression and travel.
A master of language, Lélu is known for his viral handwritten pen quotes – witty, thoughtful, and relatable quips that distil modern life into just a few words. His signature phrases have found a new home, stamped in metallic script on a selection of our Panama leather accessories and notebooks.
