Truly Uncorrected Italian Full-Grain Aniline Leather Inside and Out
Leather has always been the preferred material for protective cases, whether for opera glasses or delicate instruments. Our case is made entirely from Italian top quality uncorrected full-grain leather, warding your pen within a shelter made from an all-natural material soft enough to provide cushioning but durable enough to soften impacts and dropping.
As a cost-saving measure, non-leather linings are increasingly utilized for the inside lining of pen pouches. At Fort Belvedere, we never compromise on quality. We found, that the natural grippiness of leather was the ideal medium for holding pens securely in place without crushing or distending them. Unlike suedes or velvets, smooth leather is also slick, in no way impeding the smooth extraction of the pen.
Harvested from English Bulls
To guarantee the highest quality leather, our pen pouch is crafted solely from the hides of English bulls. Unlike cow hides, which may stretch or show imperfections post-birth, bull hides remain flawless and provide a greater quantity of the premium hides we seek. These hides are naturally superior and need no synthetic enhancement.
Heritage Italian Tannery
To match the caliber of our premium hides, we sought out a tannery of equal stature and discovered it in Italy—a country renowned for its master leather craftsmen. Boasting over a hundred years of history, this tannery excels in crafting top-tier open-pore leathers. Moreover, it is committed to sustainable production, ensuring fair labor practices and stringent environmental safeguards are integral to its philosophy.
Incredible Velvet-Like Leather Hand
Our Americana leather has been finished to offer a supple tactile experience not unlike the effect of velveteen. With age, the leather will gain a warm shine and become somewhat darker and richer. With no topcoat covering, you are able to experience the leather itself directly with every touch.
Patinas Beautifully with Age and Use
The leather of this pen case has been treated with a mild wax finish. As a result, scratches and marks may be more noticeable until they are softly buffed out. With time, as the natural oils and waxes settle, these minor blemishes will merge back into the original color, resulting in unique tonal changes in the leather. Therefore, each interaction and the progression of time will transform the case into a unique work of art.
Radiant Vintage Gold Dye
This pen carrier has been dyed a stunning vintage gold. Thanks to our aniline-dyeing process, the dye has been fully absorbed into the leather in a procedure that can take over 12 hours, ensuring a long-lasting color that won’t fade and will bring out the patina of the leather as the carrier ages. Sunny and warm, this color, combined with the feel of the leather, has a rugged appearance that is ideal for more casual ensembles.
Radiant Depth of Color
Our unique dyeing process, combined with the specialized waxes and oils applied to this leather, bestows upon the vintage gold Americana leather a remarkable depth and a unique "pull up" characteristic. This means that when the leather is gently stretched, it unveils a wealth of colors and textures that are naturally present within the leather.
Elegant Contrast Stitching
Tight, neat stitching helps to guarantee the longevity of any leather product and is something that any connoisseur would immediately notice. Therefore, we decided to employ a cream-colored thread to emphasize this superlative work.
You can also consider this contrast thread another hallmark of quality: because sewing is done near the end of the production cycle, any mistakes, which the bright thread makes immediately apparent, would require scrapping the accessory and starting over. Naturally, our craftsmen don’t want that, so they’re incentivized to provide only their best and neatest work.
Matching This Pen Case to Your Fountain Pen
No matter its size, this pen case will securely hold your pens; whether it is a large Montblanc Meisterstück 149, an Omas 360, or a thin ballpoint pen, it will fit beautifully with any one of our pen cases.
All of the dye choices for our Fort Belvedere products have been made to ensure the widest possible versatility and pairability. For added elegance, however, it does not hurt to take the color of your pen into consideration when selecting a pen pouch.
The vintage gold color of this case offers a great opportunity to play with colors. Pair it with deep burgundy or navy blue fountain pens for a classic, sophisticated contrast. These shades complement the warm tones of the leather while standing out individually.
For a more vibrant look, try forest green or rich plum for a delightful visual harmony, adding an unexpected yet elegant pop of color. And the timeless allure of a sleek black fountain pen always exudes elegance, perfectly matching the vintage gold case.
