Jonathan Saunders and Symthson offer a smart way to carry your iPad with the colorblocked cases in their new collaborative collection.
Sadly there are no handbags in this designer range, but there are some stunning diaries. Internet blogs seem to have replaced these notepads for the most part, but a lovely leather-bound book like this might just inspire us to pick up a pen. Confessing your innermost secrets here, rather than online, is certainly a much safer option!
The pairing of the British designers is an interesting one. Smythson is a very traditional leathergoods firm, while Jonathan Saunders lovers to play with modern techniques. While these accessories don’t feature the digitized patterns he loves, the unusual mix of colors we see here is one of his trademarks. The colorblocked effect works will with the collection’s classic, clean shapes.
The collection is available now from Net-A-Porter, but don’t expect to find any bargains. With the small diary costing $245 and the large a whopping $515 I think I’ll stick to my online blogging. The iPad case is also far from cheap at $690. It might be made of quality materials and come with the combined might of two esteemed designers, but it still seems too pricy.
