Description

This 1940s vintage fabric pencil case is perfect as a gift for an artist or for popping in your bag or desk drawer to keep your pens and pencils together. I picked out three colours from the fabric and matched zips and lining to make each pencil case completely unique. This listing is for the lilac colourway - please see the other listings for red and purple ones shown in the photos. I only have a small amount of this rare fabric left and these pencil cases are ensuring every last bit gets used. Once they are gone, they're gone. - Size 10 x 18 cm - Made from rare, 1940s cotton barkcloth fabric - Lined with 100% cotton premium fabric from the Kona range by Robert Kaufmann - Kona Cotton is certified "Standard 100" by Oeko-Tex - Lightly padded with fleece interfacing - Finished with a matching zip and top stitching - Available in Lilac, Red and Purple colourways The final photo shows the back of the pencil case.

  • What a treat! These notebooks were bought as a memento of a summer in Bayeux! And they did not disappoint. Beautifully made and fabulously designed, in the most beautiful fabric. Thank you Linda. We love them!
