Anyone Have The Diaries & Notes Pen Pouch?

If Montblanc could take their cue from Visonti, I'd love to buy a case similar to this:

I thought that croc tub case was made for one pen only? :hmm1:

 

If I were manufacturing pen cases, I would line them with something übersoft, such as velvet. Even with the divider, in my opinion, the D&N compartment is still too rough and may just scratch a pen.

 

The ideal pen case for me would have an exterior made of pebbled leather so that, no matter how much handling it took, it would remain nice looking. The interior would have roomy compartments and would be, as I said, velvet-lined.

 

I have some great designs in my head, and would love to find a leathersmith to make them come to life.

There are croc cases that fit more than one pen. To prevent abrasions, one would have to clip the pens onto the lip of the case, something I don't like to do - I think it's safe, but i've never liked the sharp clack of the clip hitting resin.

I managed to get hold of an older case like the one Blade Runner owns. Sure enough, the 149s fit perfectly. Drop right in, as a matter of fact.

 

The older pouch does not appear to be bigger, looking at the exterior, but on the inside is a different story. When you look at the last photo, you can see that the cut of the opening is more generous, accomodating a fatter pen with ease.

 

You know...maybe MB should hear about this. Why would a new version of the same item not function as well as the original?

 

Here are comparison photos.

Hi Sunflowers,

 

May I ask where you bought the cases? I really like the look of them.

Many thanks for letting us know! I wanted to try the same but did not have time yet... Time to get a few old style pouches as well (...I already have the old style chocolate and tan pouches :embarrassed_smile: )

 

Cheers

Thanks for the confirmation Sunflowers. Aesthetically I like the MB emblem on the new one, and the contrasting stitch color on the older.

Sorry, FP, I missed your question until now.

 

I bought the new style from my local MB boutique and I found the old version online.
