Lunchtime buy: Smythson Jonathan Saunders Soho diary

Take one luxury British stationer and add one highly-esteemed Scottish designer and what do you have? The most desirable stationery collection of 2012, that’s what.

Cult British stationery and leather goods label Smythson has teamed up with award-winning designer Jonathan Saunders to create a collection of limited edition notebooks, diaries and iPad cases – and this 2012 Soho diary stands out as the must-have piece of the collection.

With a rich red leather panel block on the outside and beautiful William Morris-influenced prints lining the inside, this diary references Saunders’ autumn/winter 2011 collection beautifully.

Is there a more fashionable way to jot down your appointments and parties in 2012? We think not!

Plus, with Smythson having the stamp of approval with a Royal Warrant, you know this is quality that will last year-round.
