Our Leather Craft

From our durable Panama to crocodile-embossed Mara, each piece of our exquisite leather collection has its own story to tell.

Tanneries

We carefully source our leather from Leather Working Group certified tanneries, to ensure they’re as responsible as can be, each piece as hard-wearing — and long-lasting — as the next.

Finishes | Smythson

Finishes

After embossing the leather to add the desired effect, our artisans use a special 'tumbling' treatment to bring out the natural grain of the leather, softening the fibres to ensure a luxuriously yielding texture.

Gold Stamping | Smythson

Gold Stamping

Carefully arranging each brass typeset into our gold stamping machines, each stamp is aligned to a fraction of a millimetre. Warming the brass to 100C to activate the gold leaf, a gentle press of the machine’s lever begins the embossing process.
