Smythson of Bond Street (CLOSED)

With Bergdorf Goodman and Louis Vuitton across the street, the flagship of this English leather-goods house keeps up with its posh neighbors via newly revamped digs for culty hand-engraved stationery (starting at $55) and their haute crocodile-embossed diaries ($120–$395). Class up your fave straphanger’s commute with pocket-sized leather planners equipped with an NYC subway map ($50). What’s more, Smythson books and most leather goods can be personalized with names, initials and dates using real gold or silver leaf ($12 per letter), and they’ll expertly gift wrap any item at no extra charge.
