The Kaweco Traveler pen case is a six-pen case, in a temptingly soft leather, that fits not only Kaweco Sport fountain pens but also most standard-size fountain pens. It’s cleverly designed to fit a lot of gear in a compact package, which makes it ideal for carrying around.

Fountain Pen Follies 
[…] 2017), and The Well-Appointed Desk (September, 2017). In the back of my mind, I kept the image of the Kaweco distressed leather pen case reviewed by Laura over at Fountain Follies, and how much I loved the color and the finish. With all this in mind, I took a look at the Galen […]

I finally gave in and ordered this case, and I’m not sorry. I like to carry my Kaweco Liliputs and AL Sports with me, and it protects them very nicely. Besides being a perfect size for Kaweco pens, it also fits my Pelikan M300s. I like the tighter elastics; they hold onto the smaller-diameter pens firmly. On some of the cases made for larger pens, the elastics are too big around to hold my mini fountain pens. I also like the little mesh-covered section to bring extra cartridges in. As a pen collector with very small hands, I collect lots of minis, so this case worked out perfectly for me.

That’s great to hear! I really love it, too. You’re right that it’s nice to have a case made for smaller pens, since they often don’t fit right in larger cases. But it also fits most of my regular-size pens, too. And I love being able to carry it in a larger bag without worrying, since it gives the pens a lot of protection.

It is nubuck leather, which is a higher end leather.

Thanks for that, Kelly. I actually asked them about the leather but never heard back, so that’s great to know. My impression using it is exactly that: it looks and feels higher end.

Thanks for review. This pen case looks really good, I should think more deeply about it but the price dampens my enthusiasm for this moment.

Thanks. That is very helpful. That is the main reason I don’t like zippered cases, because the zippers wear out. YKK are not that expensive. For the price of this case, one would think that is what they used. I loved seeing the Dia2 and some other pens besides Sport fit in that case. Thank you Laura. I adore your blog!!

Yeah, that’s a great point, because a zipper case with a broken zipper is basically a broken case. : ) This seems to be a good quality zipper, luckily.

Outstanding review. I love the case. I am not a fan of zippers for a pen case though. But for a traveling pen case, it is perfect. (or for your purse!) I like the look of the case, and the design is excellent. Did this have a YKK zipper?

The zipper isn’t labeled YKK, but it seems good quality. I believe the case is made in the Czech Republic.
