Smythson's Luggage Tag in Panama is cut from the collection's bronze crossgrain calf leather, with tonal topstitching and dyed edges. It carries separate windows for home and destination addresses, on an adjustable strap with a stud, and measures 6.8 by 12.3 centimetres.

The Panama crossgrain is Smythson's signature: scratch-resistant, structured, and immediately recognisable to anyone who has spent time in first-class cabins. The tag is listed on Smythson's site at $72, and it can be personalised with initials hand-stamped by the house's artisans.

A luggage tag is the smallest billboard a traveller owns. This one says its piece quietly, in bronze.
