Renowned photographer and Deputy Editor of Cabana Magazine, Miguel Flores-Vianna, invites readers into his most personal work to date: Sabbatical 2012. This intimate volume is a faithful reproduction of the handwritten diary that marked a turning point in Miguel’s life. Capturing the essence of a transformative year, every polaroid, note, and even the occasional spelling mistake has been preserved - just as it was first recorded.
Encased in a custom Nile Blue Smythson cover, the book pays homage to Miguel’s original diary and his 30-year relationship with the iconic British stationer. With words, text, and images by Miguel Flores-Vianna and a foreword by Deborah Needleman, Sabbatical 2012 is a poignant reflection on creativity, change, and the quiet beauty of the everyday.

- 384 leaves of gilt-edged paper
- Dimension: W14 x H20cm / W5.5 x H7.8"

Leather Type
Panama - Cross Grain Leather
Our Panama leather has become a Smythson icon, borrowing its telltale cross grain texture from our famous Panama diary, designed by Frank Smythson in 1908. Lightweight, flexible and hard-wearing, just like its namesake, this leather beautifully combines form and function.
Delivery & Returns
Gift Wrapping
Every Smythson purchase comes meticulously packed in our signature blue and finished with a navy grosgrain ribbon (we've perfected the art of tying a bow so you don't have to). Remember to include a few words by selecting 'add gift message' on the My Bag page.
