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.

Care

To nourish the leather and keep it supple and appearing its most fine, we suggest that every couple years you apply an unpigmented shoe polish or cream to its surface. Buff the polish or cream as you would your shoes.

Cleaning

If water is spilled on this leather accessory, remove all items from it, blot away (don’t rub) any excess liquid, and allow it to air-dry fully.

Please note that artificially drying leather goods, like with a hairdryer or heat gun, will degrade the leather.

If this leather accessory should become stained, clean it following the instructions on the dedicated leather cleaner of your choice.

If the stain persists, take the accessory to a dry cleaner that specializes in cleaning luxury leather goods.

The Finest Bovine Leather

Fort Belvedere proudly sources four unique varieties of treated leather, each with its own special qualities. These particular leathers are employed for most of our small leather goods, allowing you to easily match the leather accessories in your ensemble.

Americana, Dumont, and Montecristo Leather

Our Americana, Dumont, and Montecristo leathers were all tanned in Italy with hides exclusively taken from English bulls. Why bulls? Leather from cows that have calved can stretch and warp, altering the look. In contrast, bull leather is free from these imperfections, maintaining the pristine, authentic quality of the material without reliance on synthetic alterations.

These skins then underwent our tanning process at an Italian tannery steeped in heritage, boasting more than a hundred years of operation. This establishment is not only committed to crafting the highest quality open-pored leathers, following the esteemed Italian artisanal methods but also prioritizes sustainable sourcing, fair labor standards, and reducing its environmental footprint.

Togo Leather

The leather for our Togo line of wallets was sourced solely from young cattle that graze in the elevated meadows of the Alpine region. Why is this significant? The Alpine climate is cooler, resulting in a reduced number of insects. A lower incidence of insects leads to fewer bites on the animals, which can otherwise damage the leather, causing imperfections. Additionally, while the hides of calves are more expensive than those of larger cows and bulls due to their size, the exceptional characteristics of calfskin—its resilience paired with softness—justify the cost.

These hides then underwent tanning and preparation at a historic German tannery with centuries of operation under its belt. This esteemed tannery is committed to crafting the most exquisite open-pored leathers, upholding the venerable legacy of German artisanry. In serving not only Fort Belvedere but also numerous elite and luxury fashion brands, it secures its reputation as a purveyor of premium leathers.
