Jacques Herbin Prestige Small Leather Pencil Case — Emerald
There are few houses in the world of fine writing with a history as long or as genuine as Jacques Herbin. Founded in Paris in 1670, the maison began by importing shellac from India under the patronage of Louis XIV, and has been producing inks, waxes, and writing accessories ever since. The Prestige leather goods collection is a natural expression of that heritage - pieces made without compromise, in materials that improve with use.
The Small Leather Pencil Case in Emerald is a compact, well-considered pouch for anyone who carries good tools and wants them to be protected properly. It holds a handful of pens, a few pencils, cards, or small everyday essentials with ease. At 180mm x 45mm, it sits comfortably in a bag pocket, a briefcase, or a coat.
Full-grain calfskin
The case is made from full-grain calfskin - the highest grade of leather, using the outermost layer of the hide with the natural grain intact. It has not been sanded or buffed to remove surface variation. What you see is the actual skin, which means it will develop a patina over time that reflects your particular use of it. Minor variations in texture or shade are inherent to the material and are not considered defects by the maker, nor should they be by the owner. This is leather behaving as leather should.
Construction and hardware
The zip is brass, giving the closure weight and a quiet authority that plastic simply cannot match. The exterior carries visible hand-stitching and is embossed with the Jacques Herbin name, positioned with appropriate restraint. The interior lining is fabric, smooth against the barrel of a pen and easy to clean.
The emerald colourway
The emerald green is a considered choice from Jacques Herbin, a house not unfamiliar with colour. It is deep rather than bright, closer to a forest green than anything fluorescent, and it deepens further as the leather ages. It is a colour that works quietly in most settings while remaining unmistakably deliberate.
What fits inside
At 180mm x 45mm, the small case is sized to hold several pens or pencils comfortably alongside small accessories. It works equally well as a travel case for a single favourite pen, a holder for ink cartridges and a converter, or a compact pouch for cards and daily carry items. It is not a roll or a folio - it is a single-compartment zip pouch, which keeps things simple.
