Bond Street’s best

REFLECTING its not inconsiderable price tag, Smythson’s Grosvenor Dukes organiser looks suitably impressive. Made from French calfskin, it contains loose-leaf, gilt-edge note sheets and features a divider and clear index cards, has five pockets, a gold closure and comes with a gilded Panama pencil. Durable and chic, its 20x 23.5cm dimensions means it will easily fit into a briefcase or bag.
