I am old enough to remember the days when children used dip pens and fountain pens in school. I had my first fountain pen at the age of 11. Then came the ballpoint pen, and fountain pens fell out of favour. Some years later, tired of disposable ballpoints, I bought an inexpensive, beautiful fountain pen and rediscovered the joy of writing with a well-designed nib and gorgeous inks.
Dismayed at the thought of millions of disposable plastic pens going into landfill, I started collecting vintage fountain pens - both beautiful and a joy to use. As my little collection grew I needed something to store my treasures in, but couldn’t find anything I liked that wasn’t made abroad and incurred prohibitive postage charges. So, I decided to design and make some cases and, through trial and error, I produced those listed here, which are perfect for my needs: lightweight, protective, attractive, and fitting homes for my pens. I hope you will like them, too.

Full description
As requested, I am adding pen rolls to my catalogue: they hold 7 pens beautifully but aren’t too bulky. This pen roll is strictly a one-off as the fish fabric is no longer available. It has a 100% cotton outer, lining and pen loops. The inner section is sewn onto a wadding interlining which cushions and protects the pens and also adds a quilted appearance. The pen ‘pockets’ are separated from each other with two rows of reinforced stitching which provides strength, makes rolling up easier, allows the pens to nestle into each other, and will withstand the wear and tear of daily use. The top flap covers the pen clips, preventing pens from slipping out when you’re on the move. A simple natural linen twil tape, knotted at the end and tucked into itself, provides a fuss-free closure.
Care: can be hand- or machine-wash at 30°C or less (higher temperatures may affect the interlinings).
Case dimensions, approx:
Length when open: 48cm; Height: 19.3cm. Pen slots: Height: 15cm. Slot widths: 5 x 3.8cm, 2 x 4.3cm.
Can house pens up to: 18mm (narrow slots) or 23mm (wider slots) CAP diameter.
What’s in the box: One pen roll. Pens are NOT included.
P & P: I post to the UK & USA, tracked and signed-for. I also post to Australia: please contact me to arrange.
