Handmade in Manchester by The Hide Ranger

A quiet home for the tools you reach for most. The Pencil Pouch is a single fold of leather with a brass stud closure, cut and finished by hand to hold a few writing instruments and accessories in easy reach. It slips into a bag or sits open on the desk, and it asks for nothing in return.

Each pouch is handcrafted from surplus real leather. No two are alike. The grain, the tone, and the small marks across the surface belong to the hide itself, and they will deepen with handling as the leather takes on a patina of its own.

• Dark brown: a deep espresso tone with a soft, smooth grain.
• Light grey: a distressed leather that lifts toward soft light blue in certain light. The most characterful of the range.
• Walnut: a warm walnut brown with a super soft feel. It will display usage marks over time as it settles into a patina.
• Black: a smooth, close grain with a clean matte surface. The most uniform of the four.
