Rustic Town Leather Pencil Case - Vintage Zippered Pencil Pouch & Pen Case for Adults, Artists, Writers - Gift for Men & Women

I bought this as a gift for a college graduate just beginning her career. It is very well made and lives up to its name as rustic. It's a gorgeous piece of leather and can be used for much more than pencils. The zipper is smooth and makes it easy to use. She can't decide weather would be a great piece to carry in a briefcase as a stylish pen in pencil case, or in her purse as a makeup bag. It is the perfect size and style for both. This vintage case is a great value. The quality and appearance is more than expected for the price! I may get her another one so she doesn't have to choose!

Perfect size for pens, small sticky notes, and everything you need for writing/journaling. Initially had a leather odor but that wore off after a short time. Very good quality with leather outside and interior lining. Thick and durable. Zipper runs very smoothly. Holding up well with daily use for the past several months. Great deal for the price. I use this everyday and love it!

Beautiful! Well made. Love the look and feel of the bag.

This is my third "Rustic Town" leather accessory I've purchased, the other two being their tubular pencil cases. I have bought all three to bring some organization to my Saddleback satchel. First off, the quality of leather for the price is outstanding. They have that slightly-distressed brushed suede look that only gets better with use. Smells good too, none of that funky PU Chinese chemical smell (by the way, I always thought "PU" was an appropriate name considering how horrid that stuff smells). I use the tubular bags for cables, medicine vials, connectors and such. Works great to keep my bag from becoming a dump station that I have to dig around in to find stuff. But I bought this one because some of the new USB-C dongles for Mac's are quite large, as are some of my power supply bricks for various gadgets I carry with me. What I really like about this one is the triangular shape. For a leather satchel with front side leather straps, its normal for the bag to be wider on the bottom, because as you cinch down the straps it pulls in the top of the bag. So what you end up with is a, you guessed it, slightly triangular shape. I bought two of these and they wedge nicely against one another, filling a space about the size of a normal hardcover book, but creating a perfect cube when stacked together. Great design and works incredibly well for storage. Highly recommended and a bargain at this price.

Play practical for so many things

Great case, but note that it has a nylon lining inside, which was not in the description. (This is unlike the cylindrical case by the same brand, which is just leather inside and out.) Also note that this case has a little side zipper pocket.

It's a pretty decent bag for the price. The leather was a bit dry when it arrived, but I used some bick 4 to condition it. Highly recommend if you don't want the leather to darken too much. I didn't receive a smelly product like a few did here. If you did you might have gotten something from transport. I know the manufacturer is from India and I know they are having a bad time over there so I hope them a well.

I rarely bother writing product reviews--I tend to figure that if there's a problem, I do what needs to be done to get it resolved...and if there's no problem, well, the seller was paid to provide a quality product, so the transaction went as it should have--no need to go on about it. BUT. Every now and again, there's a product that's MUCH more than what you expected, worth MUCH more than what you paid for it--and that would be this RusticTown pencil case...and then...well, then, I can't help sharing my delight. "Delight" is exactly the right word. The price is inexpensive for a leather product--but there's absolutely nothing "cheap" about the product itself! The seams are perfect--not a wiggle in them, not a loose thread; the edges are smooth and neatly turned; the colors are subtle and sophisticated (I purchased both the moss green and the grey one (I think it's called "evening blue", but it's definitely a cool, medium grey)); the zipper clasps are appealing without drawing attention to themselves; the leather is smooth, reasonably supple, but sturdy, and has that pleasant leather scent; the company logo is attractive and unobtrusive--and the case even comes in its own drawstring bag, making it feel more "custom", less mass-produced. I am not attaching any photos, because the product photos are actually pretty accurate, both in terms of color (allowing for monitor brightness), and what the case actually looks like. The case is roomy enough that it's only half full, with 20 gel pens, a small microfiber cleaning cloth and a small spray bottle of water, but thanks to the triangular shape and the long zipper, it's quite easy to spread the case out a bit, to more easily see your pens, and to rummage through, to find the right one. The side pocket is thin, but comfortably holds another 4 pens and several refills. (You could fit a little more in the side pocket--but you'd sacrifice easy access for that.) Other groupings that I experimented with fitting inside the case (after removing the pens! ;)) are...two pairs of prescription glasses and four pairs of reading glasses; an Eye One Display monitor calibrator and a mouse; a pair of dog toenail clippers, a pair of dog face trimmers, an Utsumi half moon comb, a fine tooth facial comb, a large glass nail file and, astonishingly, a small slicker brush (the toenail clippers push the sides out a bit--but if I were of a mind, I could squeeze a nail grinder in there, as well)...and...well, the truth is, after realizing I wanted four more of these, maybe even more--I had to stop experimenting with them, for the sake of my budget. (I actually wound up purchasing a couple of their OTHER pencil case, as well--it's smaller than this one, maxing out at around 20 pens--but works beautifully for a couple of pairs of glasses; a doggie dental kit--small toothbrushes, 6 dental scaling instruments, and a tube of toothpaste... And I confess that I've just ordered a couple of their dopp bags, for larger collections of things... ;)) [EDIT TO ORIGINAL REVIEW: I received one of the dopp bags--and it was AWFUL. All seams had a furry, grey, dusty mold over them; 3/4 of the bag had a silvery grey "bloom" of mold over it, so that it actually looked like they'd mismatched leather colors, when sewing it together; it REEKED of mold mixed with leather, and was not stuffed full of tissue paper, so the bag itself was crushed and bent permanently out of shape in places, never mind that the leather was discolored and marred from how it had been stored. Although I am now the proud owner of 6 pencil cases...I won't be buying from RusticTown anymore, after the experience with the dopp kit. I've NEVER received ANY item bought online that was in such rotten shape, before--and there are at least four other reviews on the dopp bag in question, mentioning the mold and the smell--so it wasn't an isolated incident. :/ I'm not modifying my rating--because the pencil cases ARE wonderful--but I would now temper my former enthusiasm with a "caveat emptor" regarding any RusticTown products. :/ END OF EDIT] All together, the case is so charming, and so useful for medium groupings of things, that you'll find yourself going through the list of people you know, wondering who you can convince to try them out--so that you won't be the only RusticTown "junkie" you know. If you like beautiful, well-crafted items...and have a thing for organizing your "stuff" into various cases--give this a try. Just don't blame ME, when you keep finding new reasons to buy more of them! ;)

Très bien. Très bonne qualité.

Appears well made, solid stitching, nice feel to the leather, attractive slightly mottled tones (each case will vary of course...), solid zippers, etc... I treated mine with a bit of mink oil and it is still nice and supple. Also nice to know from the letter enclosed that I am supporting a collection of artisans in India. If I need anything else leather, I will start looking here with this group.

Perfetto!

Leather, looks really nice, I don’t mind the cattle odor, feels natural.
