For people who carry a couple of pens they actually like. The Pencase
is a full-grain leather sleeve that holds 3 pens, closes with a leather band
rather than a zip, and arrives with a pen already included. Free name embossing
on the cover.
Leather Pencase Features
Three pens, no zip
It takes 3 pens. There is no zipper anywhere on it: a leather flap slides over
the body and holds everything closed, which is what keeps the case slim and quiet. Nothing
scratches a fountain pen quite like a metal zip.
A pen comes with it
A Semender pen is included, so the case is useful the moment it arrives rather
than after you go find something to put in it.
Slim enough for a bag or a jacket
At 7.9" x 2.8" (20 x 7 cm) it slides into a bag, a jacket pocket or a desk drawer.
The outer surface is calfskin, stitched rather than glued along the edge, so it holds its shape
after years rather than going soft and shapeless.
Free name embossing
Your name is embossed into the leather, free. Give it with your order. A pencase
with a name on it is the version people keep on the desk instead of in a drawer.
Pencase Dimensions and Material
The Pencase is brown full-grain leather with the natural grain visible on the surface and
contrast stitching along the edge. It darkens with handling, and since a pencase is picked up
several times a day, it gets there quickly.
Full-grain leather: the topmost, densest-fibered layer of the hide, its
surface never sanded or thinned. Over the years it darkens rather than wears out, and the small
scratches of daily use largely disappear when you rub them with a finger.

What Fits in the Pencase?
- Pens: 3, including the one that comes with it
- A pencil and an eraser: in place of a pen, not in addition
- Ten pens or drawing supplies: no, that is the suede one
An honest limit: 3 pens is the capacity and a fourth strains it. If you carry
a handful of pens, drawing pencils or markers, the
Suede Pencase zips shut and takes 10 to 12. Because this one
has no zip, turning it upside down with the flap open will drop the pens out; the
band holds them, gravity is not part of the design.
How to Pair the Pencase
Pencase Care
- Wipe it with a soft, slightly damp cloth. Never use chemical cleaners on leather
- The leather darkens and gains character over time. That is not a flaw, it is patina
- Apply leather balm a few times a year
- If a pen leaks inside it, clean it immediately. Ink on untreated leather is permanent
Frequently Asked Questions
How many pens does it hold?
Three, and that includes the pen that comes with it. A fourth will go in but it strains the leather and stops the flap sitting flat. For a bigger capacity, the Suede Pencase takes 10 to 12 pens behind a zip.
Is a pen included?
Yes, a Semender pen comes with it. That is deliberate: a pencase with nothing in it sits in a drawer, and one that arrives ready to use ends up on the desk.
Does it have a zip?
No. A leather band slides over the case and holds it closed, which keeps it slim and means no metal teeth near your pens. The trade is that it is not sealed: with the flap open and the case upside down, the pens can slide out.
Can I have my name on it?
Yes, and it is free. The name is embossed into the leather rather than printed on top, so it ages with the surface. Give the name with your order. Note that a personalized piece cannot be returned for a change of mind.
What is the difference between this and the Suede Pencase?
Capacity, closure and material. This one is smooth leather, holds 3 pens, closes with a band and comes with a pen and free name embossing. The Suede Pencase is suede, zips shut, holds 10 to 12 pens, comes in three colors, and has no embossing or included pen.
Three pens, a leather band and a name on the front: there is nothing here that can break.
