THE RACING POST: Smythson has partnered with the Aston Martin Aramco Formula 1 Team on a collection that launches this week that’s been designed with motor racing enthusiasts in mind.
The collection, developed by Smythson’s in-house design team together with Aston Martin Aramco, features stationery, travel and tech accessories in colors such as the F1 team’s signature “podium green” and “dark shadow.”
The hero piece in the collection is a bespoke “circuit journal” that includes exclusive, behind-the-scenes content from the team, including a foreword from managing technical partner and team principal Adrian Newey, as well as space to document every race throughout the season.
The stationery offering also includes Smythson’s Panama and Soho notebooks, presented in “podium green,” “dark shadow,” and “lime essence” shades, with special-edition illustrations of the cars lining the inside covers.
Travel and tech accessories include a multi zip case, passport sleeve, double zip wash bag, small laptop case, large flat card holder, key ring with leather strap, and sunglasses case.
The collaboration comes on the heels of Smythson’s new flagship opening at 575 Madison Avenue in New York, 25 years after the British stationer and leather accessories maker opened its first stand-alone store in the city.
S. K. and Smythson took extra care with the new store. The company worked with architectural design studio Johnson Pinney Architects to develop the 1,400-square-foot space which is meant to showcase Smythson’s two worlds, leather and paper.
