Midori Pen & Tool Pouch Mesh with gusset blue

The Midori "Pen & Tool Pouch Mesh with Bottom Gusset" in Blue is a lightweight nylon pouch with semi-transparent mesh fabric and a silver zipper. The characteristic bottom gusset gives the bag depth and stability – it can stand upright on the desk without tipping over. Inside, two differently designed interior pockets organize the space, so pens, small parts and accessories are immediately within reach.

Special Features

• Semi-transparent nylon mesh: The open-weave fabric makes the contents visible at a glance – no rummaging, no emptying. Ideal when many similar pens are sorted and you need to find the right one quickly.
• Bottom gusset for more volume: The gusset at the bottom opens the pouch to up to 70 mm depth. Thicker markers, small ink bottles, erasers or ink cartridge sets fit side by side without stacking.
• Stands upright: Thanks to the bottom gusset, the pouch stands independently on the desk – practical when working because pens stand upright and don't roll.
• Two interior pockets: A generous main compartment and a narrower interior pocket with angled cut. Small parts like replacement cartridges, pen nib replacements, washi tape rolls or eraser supplies can be separated from the pen area.
• Silver zipper: Runs smoothly across the entire opening width and keeps the contents securely in the pouch.
• Blue: Clear, medium blue – saturated enough to be immediately findable in a backpack or on the desk without being obtrusive.
• Lightweight: Nylon mesh keeps the own weight minimal, so the pouch contributes barely noticeable weight even when fully packed.

Application & Tips

• Fountain pens & fineliners: The pouch comfortably holds a collection of six to ten fountain pens in standard size side by side. For those transporting fountain pens with delicate nibs, lay them flat in the main compartment – the soft mesh interior wall won't scratch the lacquer.
• Calligraphy accessories: Broad nibs and reservoirs fit in the interior pocket, small ink bottles stand upright in the main compartment. The transparency helps you see the fill level of small bottles.
• Drawing supplies on the go: Fineliner sets, colored pencils and a small sharpener set fit together inside. The standing position on the desk saves space compared to a flat-lying pouch.
• Small items organization: Paper clips, washi tape mini rolls, sticky note pads or USB sticks no longer disappear in the bag – the mesh window shows what's inside.
• Double packing: Two of these pouches side by side in a laptop bag or backpack create a simple, quick-swap pen system: one for everyday use, one for specialized tools.

For Stationery Enthusiasts

Midori manufactures this pouch in Japan. The nylon mesh used is finely woven enough to prevent even the smallest objects like unwound fountain pen cartridges or individual reservoirs from falling through, yet open enough that damp brushes or freshly rinsed converters get some air circulation in the mesh. The bottom gusset follows a classic Japanese bookbinding principle – similar to the makigire fold concept used in fabric pouches – and gives the pouch its three-dimensional stability even though the material itself has minimal inherent stiffness.
