Now, a preview --

 

INTRO -- This is the 3rd time I'm presenting these on the FPN. These are made by Ling, a full-time high school teacher in Taiwan who is also a fountain pen and calligraphy enthusiast. She made these wraps, one by one, all by herself, giving great thoughts to every one of them.

 

Carefully selected fabrics aren't randomly cut to make the most use of materials and save money. Instead she insists on selecting the best patterns possible, even if it means an increase on cost.

 

Each pen wrap and pouch is well padded to provide substantial protection for your pens while rolled up. In the meantime, high quality layering materials and techniques are used so that they don't appear bulky. They also hold large-sized pens, including MB 149.

 

PM with your choice and questions.

i bought one a while ago and these are fantastic pen wraps/pouches. The quality is amazing and they will take a sailor susutake pen with room to spare. The design and solidity of the padding and the well designed foldover make this the perfect wrap. (no affiliation, just a very satisfied customer)

These are really lovely. Does she do custom jobs, too? I've been after a pouch design I haven't seen before.

Thanks pixwriter, for your kind words.

 

These pen wraps and pouches have seen many familiar faces over the past year - a big Thank-you to our repeat customers. In the meantime they're also making new friends all over the world. It's always interesting to see how far they travel on this planet, thanks to FPN.

 

(No worries. You guys are scattered all over the place... Minimal chance to bump into someone carrying the same pen wrap. )

 

Btw, please do not shy away if something you like is marked "sold" or "on hold". Although many of the materials are limited in quantities, if they are still available we can always work out a special or custom order. Just ask.

 

All PMs replied.

PM sent for a possible custom order.

 

I am also a satisfied customer. The pen wrap I have is lovely, ever so well made and very useful. I prefer these wraps to any leather pen pouch.

[inkster]

These are really well made, good looking wraps with deep and wide pockets that will take any size pen. Highly recommended. Have 2 of these wraps and have a 2 pen pouch on order. Use them to carry my pens on business trips. Like them much better than any leather cases I have ever come across.

[Cerbeos]

Phew, if I only had more pen money I'd be all over one of these! Free bump for these, they look simply amazing!

[HyperCamper]

For a bump: I've received my first pen wrap and it's great!

[blopplop]

Well, I simply must throw in my .02 worth. I just received my Dragon Fly pen wrap a couple weeks ago. This wrap is stunning! It is well constructed, holds all my oversizes with ease, and is wonderful to look at. As someone stated above, it has replaced my leather one as my go to pen pouch. If I had the money (and enough pens to justify it), I'd buy a couple more.

 

You will not be disappointed with these wraps.

Thanks to every one who has looked at, purchased and/or shown support here!

 

Those paid for were already in the mail either last Friday or today. In the meantime, many pen wraps and pouches are still available. Feel free to PM me with any questions or inquiries.

 

Also wanted to add that the wraps' area for clipping your pens is reinforced with extra paddings. (All padding materials are imported from Japan and cost triple of other inferior, coarse but thick options). With repeated clippings the fabric won't become slouchy.

 

Our artist, Ling, has really put much consideration into her designs. If you own a wrap by her, you'll notice the wonderful craftmanship and high class materials she's used. Still, she's constantly thinking about ways to improve. Any suggestions are welcomed, too.

 

Regards,

 

Nan

Bump.

My hares arrived! fantastic, I love the new thinner padding. These wraps are so well made. I am thrilled.

[Elisablue]

Exquisite " dragon and bats " arrived while I was away , they were patiently waiting for me ...

 

I do think this is a magical penwrap : when gently tilted, the beautiful" bleu vert " darkens as if suddenly night had fallen, the dragons and bats shine in a dance of gold, red , blue and green ... This is like ink made into silk .

The inside fabric is black , beautiful and smooth , and feels completely secure for the most precious pens . The jade stone wraps itself graciously around ...

 

Quel plaisir pour le regard , quel plaisir de sentir la douceur de la soie et la fraîcheur du jade.

 

Merci.

I have ordered these pen wraps on two separate occasions--I can wholeheartedly agree with the others who have testified that these wraps are beautifully made and very functional. In my view you won't find better pen wraps and you won't find a nicer person to deal with than Nan. That's my two cents worth!

[ladymaverick]

Another recommendation for these pouches and the service.

 

I made my first enquiry on July 25th, regarding a custom-made order, and received my beautifully-made, 10-pen wrap this morning (August 4th) - that's request, fabric choice, complete manufacturing and shipping from Taiwan to the UK in less than 2 weeks!!

 

The wrap itself is fantastically well-made, with sound, even stitching; I'm planning on using this to cart my pens back and forth to school, and it certainly looks like it's durable enough to take the punishment.

 

And a huge thanks to Nan for her speedy and friendly communications - an absolute joy to deal with.

 

Can't wait for my pen pouch to arrive too!

 

Thanks to Nan and Ling for giving my pens a lovely new home.

Thank you! You have all been too kind. Also, thanks to everyone who has been patiently waiting for new pen wraps to surface. Sometimes it'll take long to ready new selections since Ling and I both have full-time jobs (and lives ).

 

Another thing to mention is that your favorite fabric or ornamet from old albums may become unavailable no matter how much we'd like to keep them. As of now this is beyond our control. That also adds to the fun of purchasing a handmade product, though. You just never know what pleasant surprise is to come next.

 

Ling has once again made some improvements. Newer pen wraps will have thinner foldover flaps and a cleaner edge at the top. These wraps are neither bulky nor heavy, perfect for carrying pens in your purse or briefcase.
