Help With Pen Case

[Apm1]

Hello everyone! I am new to this forum.

 

I need your help for finding a pen case for my needs. I am looking for something "roll" style, in leather, for 3 to 5 pens, nothing more.

 

Looking on the web, I noted this from Staedler which is made for the Japanese market only. Please refer to the link below

This could be almost perfect for my needs. My only concerns are that the pockets are too large and I don't like the brand printed on the leather. And probably is a bit too tall because is made for accomodating pencils that usually arr longer then pens.

 

Could you guys suggest me some other alternatives?

 

Many thanks!

​A couple quick and simple suggestions here:

 

1. place a 'want to buy' add in the classifieds here.
2. search etsy. I see a lot of products from craft makers advertising their wares on etsy mentioned here; journal covers, journals, pen totes, wraps etc.

Nagasawa pen rolls are lovely but fairly pricey - can be got via Rakuten

I have the same advice as Dr Codfish : search Etsy ! Lots of brilliant ideas from all over the world

(I sew penrolls, but not with leather, only cotton and sometimes silk ...)

Thank you DrCodfish, I had a look on Etsy over the past few days however the majority of the items were made in China. I was looking for someting more refined!

Thanks!

Aston New York has a leather roll up pen case for five (5) pens in black, brown or tan. You can see it at this link.

Hello !

You can have a look at my signature for the link to my tiny Etsy shop and all the penrolls I've sewn are on my FB profile (link in signature)

I like the cloth rolls better than leather for weight and suppleness and there is no problem with discoloration or oxidation or tarnishing that you may get from the leather tanning processes used....oh, and PRICE!

Howdy Sasha,

 

I can make it for you. I recently designed a tool roll for my antique and modern crochet hooks.

 

For males, the fabric for a pen roll will be more masculine. This sample is 'girly'.

What say you?

I have a leather roll that I got a local art/craft show; it is actually a pencil roll but the slots aren't too tall. They were a bit narrow for some pens at first, but the leather has stretched nicely. You might look for local leather workers & see if anyone nearby either makes one or would be willing to custom make one.

 

Also, Edison Pens has two options, a 4 slot and a 6 slot - http://edisonpen.com/pen-rolls.

You did not mention a price range, but I have seen this one around the blogs with excellent reviews: Superior Labor Leather Carrier

 

(The reviews better be excellent, at that price! My eyes water!)

Thank you guys I will give a look!

The 4 pens roll made by Edison Pen looks very nice!!!

In case you haven't found something yet, here are two that have been on my radar:

 

The first is from a rising star in bespoke leather products, Galen Leather. Their products are getting a lot of excellent reviews from all over the web (google them sometime and all of the big blogs have done reviews for them).

 

https://www.galenleather.com/collections/tool-rolls-pen-rolls/products/new-personalized-leather-tool-roll-tool-bag-multiple-colors

 

Second is from a well-known group in the Kickstarter world - Allegory. I hadn't ever seen this pen roll until this weekend when I was searching for something else, but I bookmarked it and it is on my "to buy soon" list for sure.

Hope those might help.

Hi Apm1,

 

Kevin over at Fountain Pen Revolution (FPR) is selling 100% Genuine Leather 6-pen rolls with protective fold-over. The wrap is 9.8” X 6.7” (25 X 17cm) and sells for $32 USD each. FPR has a U.S. outlet with stock now, but I don't know if they are carrying the pen wraps. Otherwise, FPR items ship from Kevin's base in India. I think the standard shipping is via SpeedPost (or similar) with tracking.

 

Here's a link for the FPR leather pen wraps:

 

http://fountainpenrevolution.com/penpouches.html

 

I don't own one of these wraps, so I can't attest to the quality. But I have purchased from FPR on a number of occasions and found the service to be excellent and the products to be as advertised. If you have any questions, just drop Kevin an Email.

 

Best Regards, David in Jakarta
