Mb 2 Pen Siena Pouch Help

[hcd615]

I am getting another pen today from the MB Boutique delivered and I wanted to buy the Siena 2 pen pouch. I found one on eBay and I know there is A LOT of fake items, but the guy has perfect feedback and very high end expensive items he has sold. Does this look legit / authentic?

looks exactly right to me and I do have the same case to compare it to

hcd615,

 

It does look correct to me as well. I own this case as well. Honestly, I am sorry that I purchased it. The Siena pen divider does not extend along the entire pocket and you do run the potential of the pens knocking together. If you are carrying MontBlanc pens, you definitely don't want them to hit each other. There are a lot of other leather pen cases that frankly are much cheaper and the divider runs the length of the case. Franklin-Christoph makes a great line of leather pen cases that sell for a fraction of the cost and do a much better job of protecting your pens.

Just bought it, thank you

too late..... on it's way to me.....

I have the 1-pen Siena case and from the looks of it, it's authentic...congrats on your purchase!

[hcd615]

Maybe it will help if I put the pens in and slide the clip over the leather facing out so the pens stay in place and don't bang around. I will try that. Thanks for all your help guys!!

Mine does because I extended it myself. I also did the same thing to my cigar shaped single mock croc case, and 2 pen version

For me, i'd never place the clip over on the outside where the clip-end groove is, fearing that over time, I might leave marks on the case by removing and slotting it back.

You mean leave a mark on the leather? I don't care about that....

I would never do that either. It might not even stop the pens touching each other below the central divider

Yeah that's right, I just slot the whole pen in directly.

[hcd615]

ok, i will do it that way, no clip on the outside. Thank you all!

Just enjoy using the pouch! Cheers!

Good job in getting a case. You took the best step in protecting your pens by purchasing a pen case to keep them in when not in use. That in and of itself probably dropped your chances of damaging your pens by at least 50%.

The lack of a full length dividers in pen cases, including the MB Sienna case has been the topic of previous threads. One solution is to make a pen sock out of soft material (dollar store acrylic scarf) to line the case. That provides more protection than even a full length divider would. Instructions have been posted.

I love the Sienna pen pouch and own all three types.

The two-pen pouch is my favourite.

These pouches are sturdy and they hold up to regular use and wear really well.

I found the link for the instructions on how to make the 'pen sock'. Hope it is okay to reference:

It also depends on what kind of pens you're going to use it with. Two 149s fit very snugly; I doubt they can bang against each other.

You may have this problem with 146s or Classiques (unless you clip them, that is), but two 149s seem safe to me whether clipped or not.
