Sonnenleder pencil case "Berit groß" natural
The Sonnenleder pencil case "Berit large" in natural is a case made from vegetable-tanned leather – crafted and hand-finished in Germany. The natural tanning gives the leather a warm, slightly rough surface that develops its own patina over time. A full-length zip fastens the spacious main compartment securely and quickly.
Features
- Vegetable-tanned leather: Pure vegetable tanning without synthetic additives – the leather breathes, takes care well, and develops individual character with use.
- Hand-crafted in Germany: Each piece is hand-finished; slight variations in grain and tone are signs of genuine craftsmanship, not flaws.
- Natural tone "natural": The untreated, light leather shows the natural colour of the raw material – open to individual patina, sensitive to strong sunlight and moisture, which is part of the material's character.
- Zip fastener: A single zip closes the main compartment completely – pens, fountain pens and accessories stay secure, even in a bag or rucksack.
- Generous dimensions: 22 × 10 × 3.5 cm provides space for a complete pen collection, including longer fountain pens or wider markers.
Use & Tips
- Fountain pens and calligraphy supplies: The case easily holds several fountain pens side by side – ideal for transporting nibs, converters and ink cartridges to a workshop or office.
- Coloured pencils and drawing pencils: The depth of 3.5 cm and length of 22 cm also make the case suitable for standard pencils, coloured pencils or thinner brushes.
- Leather care: Vegetable-tanned natural leather responds to moisture and dryness. Occasional rubbing with a colourless leather balm keeps the surface supple and protects against cracks.
- Breaking in: Fresh from the workshop, the leather is still stiff. After a few weeks of regular use, it becomes softer and adapts to your usage habits.
For Leather Enthusiasts
Vegetable tanning – also called Vegetable Tanning – is the oldest traditional tanning process and takes several weeks to months depending on leather thickness. Unlike chrome tanning, it produces no heavy metal residues; the leather is biodegradable and displays a pronounced grain structure. Natural vegetable-tanned leather is particularly receptive to colour changes from UV light and skin oils – which means for this case: every piece will look different after a year of use than on the first day.
