Beautiful Leather Pen Cases in Manila

If you have a luxury pen - a Mont Blanc Limited Edition, Writer's Edition or Annual Edition, or any Mont Blanc Pen, or a full size S.T. Dupont or Dunhill or Montegrappa pen, it is only natural to want to protect your cherished investment. After all, having spent upwards of USD 500 on a fine writing instrument with which to affix your power signature, what is spending another USD 150+?


A fine pen case is a wise accompaniment to your luxury pen as it offers more than mere protection. Here is a gray leather case made with soft lamb leather.

A leather pen case not only protects your pen from scratches that can downgrade the luster, elegance and enjoyment your pen brings, it also provides extra protection from a pen suddenly sliding away and getting lost into obscurity as it no longer travels through time with you and your renowned family line. A distinctive pen case also creates more drama and ceremony as when your signature or thoughts require it, you pull out - not a pen but a pen case! Then with the case out, you unsheathe your pen like a samurai reveals his katana, exposing the make and beauty of your instrument, now ready to cut a sharp deal or concretize a solid investment, or preserve for posterity your precious thoughts.

There are few that fit the bill of the duties required of an elegant pen case. Of course going with the luxury pen brands, you can rest assured. Mont Blanc is a favorite of mine, but you won't go wrong with brand names like S.T. Dupont, Dunhill, Montegrappa, who make matched leather cases for their luxury pens. Or makers of fine leather men's gear like Zino Davidoff. These are excellent choices, as long as you're willing to pay the price.

Enter options of beautiful leather pen cases at the range of USD 40 to USD 60, verses the branded pen cases at USD 150 or even much higher!


A broad range of cases for two or three pens, in colors from corporate black or subdued shades of brown, to frivolous blue or green. Available from Rustan's Department Store at the EDSA Shangri-La Mall.

I was quite pleased to discover a wide array of pen cases, made using lamb or goat leather, and even snake or python leather! Colors range from more formal tones, to carefree and fun-loving colors! I dare say, you'd be hard pressed to find some of these wild colors with the luxury brands, and some of these colors match up nicely with the bold colors of limited edition pens that range from USD 800 and up! And where are these available? None other than Rustan's EDSA Shangri-La Mall, a faithful destination for high end shopping. EDSA Shangri-La Mall itself, especially with the new East Wing, is a great destination for shopping on luxury goods.


If you're in the market for pen cases and you visit Manila, check out Rustan's. You'll find the cases along with the Wolfe Design watch winders. In Singapore, check out Goldlion pen cases as an alternative.
