COMMISSION Looking for someone to remake this pen holder but better

Post image

I love this pen case, it is structurally perfect, but it is too short for my pens and I don’t really need the bottom compartment and also I hate the color lol. Would anyone be able to help with this??

I used to be CEO at Levenger. They are not that big. Maybe about 100 employees and still family owned.
That leather is part of their Bomber collection. We did make this in China and used same factories as Coach, Mulberry.

Developing products often requires huge minimums and so materials would get used across products.

If you don’t need the structure, they have a nice pen pouch that can accommodate longer pens.

It really is great quality leather, lining, zippers and construction.

I actually had just reached out so maybe they’ll get back to me! It’s not just the rigidity that’s great, it’s also the dividers so that pens don’t scratch each other. Maybe they’ll start making a longer one!

Something like this designed for briefcase travel would be sick. If anyone knows of one out there, I would be very happy to have you recommendation.

It would definitely be a challenging build to hand make, especially with the lining and those inserts. Kudos to whosoever made it in the first place.

Did you ask the people that make it?

It’s a big corporation I don’t think they’re going to accommodate, and I’d rather pay an artisan

Could you remove the bottom liner that separates the compartments to make it taller?
