Hi, Dan

 

I have the 2-slot Bohème Pen Pouch and the pen loops inside the case are not leather. The inner fabric has the "MONT BLANC" logo.

I'm sure mine is authentic.

 

Here is a picture:

QM2 hasn't posted on this board for awhile. You might want to check that in future when necroposting a question. ;)

Thanks Ghost, but I got the answer I was looking for anyway—thanks Josefa.

 

A further follow up, I was able to have a discussion with an extremely helpful girl named Jessica from the MontBlanc store in Toronto Canada. She happened to have a case there, and also confirmed that same material on an authentic case.

 

This really surprised and disappointed me in a way. These pen cases empty are $175 from MontBlanc. Add a set of pens, and it's at least a $1500 package, and the business end of the cases appear to be made of vinyl fabric faux leather. This might be some wonder nylon with a five-syllable scientific name with a full story at MB headquarters about how and why it was specially developed to out-perform leather for 75 years, but I kind of doubt it.

 

Glad it's "authentic" however—I'm just not so certain that in this case it would matter : )

      Oh to have that translucent pink Prera! @migo984 has the Oeste series named after birds. There is a pink one, so I’m assuming Este is the same pen as Oeste.    Excellent haul. I have some Uniball One P pens. Do you like to use them? I like them enough, but don’t use them too much yet.    Do you or your wife use Travelers Notebooks? Seeing you were at Kyoto, I thought of them as there is a store there.

      It's not nearly so thick that I feel it comprises my fine-grained control, the way I feel about the Cross Peerless 125 or some of the high-end TACCIA Urushi pens with cigar-shaped bodies and 18K gold nibs. Why would you expect me or anyone else to make explicit mention of it, if it isn't a travesty or such a disappointment that an owner of the pen would want to bring it to the attention of his/her peers so that they could “learn from his/her mistake” without paying the price?

      Why nobody says that the section of Tuzu besides triangular shape is quite thick. Honestly it’s the thickest one among my many pens, other thick I own is Noodler’s Ahab. Because of that fat section I feel more control and my handwriting has improved. I can’t say it’s comfortable or uncomfortable, but needs a moment to accommodate. It’s funny because my school years are long over. Besides this pen had horrible F nib. Tines were perfectly aligned but it was so scratchy on left stroke that collecte

      Awesome! I'm in the process of preparing my bag for our pen meet this weekend and I literally have none of the items you mention!! I'll see if I can find one or two!

      @asota -- Yeah, I think I have a few rolls in my fridge that are probably 20-30 years old at this point (don't remember now if they are B&W or color film) and don't even really know where to get the film processed, once the drive through kiosks went away....  I just did a quick Google search and (in theory) there was a place the next town over from me -- but got a 404 error message when I tried to click on the link....  Ruth Morrisson aka inkstainedruth
