Makers Cabinet Leather Case for Pencil Holder Ferrule

The Makers Cabinet leather case protects the Ferrule pencil holder on your travels and in everyday use. It is made from a single piece of vegetable-tanned leather from the Tuscan tannery Badalassi Carlo – crafted in Italy. The matte, slightly rough surface of the leather feels soft to the touch and develops a unique patina over time, deepening the character of the case.

Features

• Vegetable-tanned leather from Badalassi Carlo: Tanning is carried out exclusively with plant-based tannins from tree bark – chrome-free. The result is a dense, supple leather that builds up a rich patina through friction and use.
• Single-piece construction: The case is folded from a single piece of leather and encloses the Ferrule securely – without seams or additional closures that could break.
• Matte, slightly velvety surface: The characteristic surface texture of Badalassi leather feels dry-velvety. It protects the brass pencil holder from scratches and minor knocks.
• Patina development with use: Areas subject to frequent contact gradually darken and become shinier – the case becomes a personal object.
• Made in Italy: Tannery and manufacturing in Italy.

Use & Tips

• The case fits the Ferrule pencil holder by Makers Cabinet and protects its brass surface in bags and rucksacks from scratches caused by other items.
• Vegetable-tanned leather is sensitive to moisture – if heavily soaked, allow the case to dry flat and then treat it with colourless leather grease to prevent brittleness.
• If you want to speed up patina development, you can rub the leather regularly with your hands – skin oils and warmth encourage the build-up of an even layer.
• The case is also suitable for protecting other slender metal objects of similar size – such as thin knives, rotary cutters or calligraphy pen holders of comparable length.

For Leather Enthusiasts

Badalassi Carlo is a member of the Pelle-Vegetale Consortium in Tuscany – an association of tanneries that exclusively use traditional plant-based tanning methods. The process takes considerably longer than chemical chrome tanning, but produces full-grain leather that retains its natural fibre structure. Full-grain vegetable-tanned leather can be well conditioned with standard leather care products based on wax or tallow and absorbs dyes deeply – ideal for those who wish to personalise the case further with leather dye.
