I have this in brown. Purchased it I think in 2013 or 2014. Have used it on and off since then. It's held my pens tons of times, been tossed around in the bottom of bags and brief cases and coat pockets. Still looks fantastics, holds its shape, and continues to protect my pens.
I use this case to transport a Pelikan 100N and a Waterman 52 between museum displays. I purchased it for its archival feel. It’s become part of our preservation kit.
I gave this case with a Montblanc Classique to my editor after my debut novel. She said it was the most thoughtful gift she’d received. It felt like a thank-you wrapped in leather.
I own an Omas Paragon and a vintage Sheaffer Balance, one purchased for its Italian craftsmanship, the other inherited. This case was chosen to carry both during archival visits. It feels ceremonial.
I bought an Omas Paragon after my mentor retired. This case was chosen to carry it and a Nakaya Writer during my lectures. It feels like I’m carrying his legacy with me.
