Have you heard of Smith Journal? It's an quarterly publication based in Australia from the creators of the famed Frankie magazine. While frankie is for women, the smith journal is for discerning gents (and ladies who like reading about discerning gents).
I don't read many magazines. There are very few Indian publications of quality; the two I tend to read are GoodHomes magazine & Rolling Stone (especially when they do a feature on Ziggy Stardust!) Reader's Digest is shit since India Today group took over.
But Smith Journal? It was a treat. First of all the lovely thick matte paper it's printed on. It's filled with articles that are great to read, alongside beautiful photography. Seriously guys, I can't believe I'm gushing over a magazine, but I am. *swoon*
This post is a little late, & vol.3 is out tomorrow!

Also a huge thank you to Melly, who actually sent me this copy from Singapore when I was whining on instagram about it not being available here. She also sent me this sweet postcard & filled the mailer with colorful mini origami cranes. Best package ever. ♥

ReplyDeleteI, too, always feel apprehensive about international subscriptions... shipping just costs too much.
Ah, I know what you mean! I've seen magazines like Smith Journal which are sold here for $18 a pop, and while I know I would get so much out of them, I also know I can't afford them. I almost bought Apartamento a couple of times, and I'd love to get my hands on The Gentlewoman, but let's face it, I'm broke. I'd get them if they had digital versions (like Frankie does).
ReplyDeleteI completely agree Anne... as amazing as these are, they wouldn't be too high on my priority list. But as an occasional indulgence they're great, I think they look so darn good on a coffee/bedside table or bookshelf too. I honestly think you're still a bit luckier, because it isn't available locally here at all, if I even want to get a peek at these magazines I have to order online, & international shipping is killer. I didn't know Frankie magazine does digital, I must check that out, thanks.
