Smythson is committed to achieving the very highest quality standards whilst driving more sustainable outcomes and minimising their environmental impact. They have been awarded the Butterfly Mark by Positive Luxury for a company-wide commitment to sustainability.
All Smythson leather goods are manufactured in artisan factories in the UK, Italy, and Europe. The leathers used to craft their products are carefully and responsibly sourced from European tanneries, principally in Italy, and are tested by independent accredited laboratories before production begins to ensure that they conform to strict EU and international standards.
Smythson only sources paper for its stationery, books and diaries from mills based in England and Italy. The printing of these products is carried out in-house at their own workshops based in Wiltshire and Hertfordshire. The paper used is sourced from FSC certified sources and printing inks are vegetable based.
