In 1839, just as Charles Dickens published ‘Oliver Twist’, Thomas John Smith and his elder brother Joseph formed the T. J. &. J. Smith partnership, trading from premises in the City of London. In the next 150 years a worldwide reputation was established for manufacturing leather bound books and leather goods of the highest quality. Then in 1950, the most important feature of the product was linked with the name of the family and Leathersmith of London was born. Today the Leathersmith of London ‘Azure’ range includes elegant pocket and desk diaries and a comprehensive collection of address and social books, all featuring the distinctive blue paper and beautifully bound in the traditional Rutland grained leather.

Montegrappa manufacture since 1912 stands in the same historic building on the bank of the River Brenta, in one of the most picturesque areas of the historic town of Bassano del Grappa in the prosperous north-eastern part of Italy. This Italian heritage is an important value for a Brand that is the first Italian pen manufacturer: it is his tradition, his legacy. Since 1912 Montegrappa pens embody the Italian flair. Montegrappa's pens are reserved for those who can't live without the emotions inspired by the feel of a crafted writing instrument between their fingers, responding to their delicate movements. As they guide the Montegrappa pen across the paper, the eye follows the ink as it seeps in. As well as its limited editions, freely inspired by great moments of history and the most ancient passions of mankind, Montegrappa produces a regular range, for who want to indulge in a daily luxury.
