For the past four years I have been in a Van Der Spek pen holder. I switch between my undyed and my Janet Leather ones in this model.
In them I just carry two cheap pens. They have all been pretty hardy and I use them every single day.
The past week though, I have been hankering after something different. Maybe it is because it is summer and I am more free, maybe I just needed a change after four years.
I found this one locally. It is L’artiste by PrintWorks and is in faux saffiano leather, which should be pretty hardy. It cost about €15 in a local department store. You can also find them here
It comes in several designs and colours.
Are you happy with this pencil case? I bought one last weekend and the zipper doesn’t function properly…
Yes I love them! I now have two – a grey one for my pens and a teal one for my pencils. The grey one goes in my bag every day. I bought them in store though so I checked the zippers before I bought them. I noticed then that there were a couple that didn’t pull very well. One trick that often works with a sticky zipper is to rub graphite (pencil) along the teeth. I hope that works for you. If it just doesn’t work at all, then I would return it. Let me know how it goes!
It kind of doesnt close properly. When it’s a bit full it opens behind the zipper if that makes sense. So it will be open in front and behind the zipper :'(
Ah okay. Then I think you should return it. That is a faulty zipper mechanism.
So, I have an update. I coulnd’t return the pencil case, because I bought it in the netherlands and I live in Belgium, so I couldn’t physically go back to the store. But I mailed the store and they are sending me a new one via mail, I couldn’t be more happy
I am so glad to hear that! Let me know what you think of the new one. I am still loving mine!
