The Superior Labor - Oil Leather - Pen Case

The Superior Labor - Oil Leather - Pen Case

Sophisticatedly crafted from oil leather, this pen case from Superior labor is an elegant way to store writing instruments. Its zigzag sewn and pinched gusset creates a roomy shape to protect your pens. 

Crafted from vegetable-tanned cowhide, this pen case uses leather carefully rubbed with oil to enhance its suppleness and durability. The result is a soft, moist texture, with a rippled surface that feels luxurious in the hand and develops a rich patina over time. The softness allows the leather to slightly stretch and form to the object that it holds. Oil Leather's simple finish allows the natural marks and variation of the leather to show, enhancing its beauty as it ages and reflecting the material’s authenticity. Since each batch is made from a different portion of leather, you can often see the natural grain shift between small and large pebbling within a single item.
