A slim leather pen case for anyone who wants a few pens close at hand and protected. It holds a handful of pens, pencils or a compact ruler in one open compartment, and suits someone who carries a couple of pens daily for the office, meetings or a notebook habit. It also works well as a gift for a coworker or client.
It is cut from full-grain cowhide with a pull-up, vintage finish, and lined in a felt-soft fabric. A smooth brass-tone zipper runs the full length of the case, opening wide so you can drop pens in or pick one out without digging. A leather pull tab, riveted at the zipper head, doubles as a soft grip and a small handle to lift the case out of a bag or desk drawer.
The narrow, gently rounded profile slides flat into a laptop bag, briefcase or backpack pocket, or sits on its own on a desk. Expect the leather to darken and soften with handling, developing a natural patina over time. It is a single, no-fuss pouch rather than a bulky organizer. Each case darkens a little differently with use, so it becomes more personal over time. Choose brown, coffee, red, black, green or blue.
Dimensions and details for this piece are listed under Technical details. If you have a question before ordering, write to us.
Leather: wipe with a soft, dry cloth. Once or twice a year, work in a little neutral leather cream, testing it first on a hidden spot. If it gets wet, blot it and let it dry naturally, away from radiators and direct sun. Full-grain leather darkens and softens with use; that patina is part of its character.

Our pieces, out in the real world.
In 1924, our grandfather, Albert Whitley, opened a small outfitter’s shop in Yorkshire. Our father, Henry, carried it forward. Today, we continue the family business with the same belief: good materials, useful things and pieces made to be worn for years.
The counter may now be a website, but the standard remains much the same. Old craft. Modern wear.
Each piece names its exact material under Technical details, whether full-grain, top-grain or split leather, vegan leather or metal. If a piece is not listed as leather, it is not leather.
Pieces with a tracker slot say so under Technical details. The tracker itself is not included.
Dimensions, card capacity and laptop size are listed under Technical details for every piece. Belts are sized by full strap length: choose about 2 in (5 cm) above your trouser waist size. If you want us to confirm a fit before ordering, write to us.
Wipe it with a soft, dry cloth, condition it once or twice a year with a neutral leather cream, and let it dry naturally if it gets wet. Full-grain leather darkens and softens with use; that patina is part of its character.
