Crazy horse leatherDouble zip

The VOYAGEUR Sketch pencil case reinvents the most ordinary everyday object as a statement piece: a genuine crazy horse leather pencil case, with an oiled and patinated appearance, closed by a double zip with sliders adorned with antique metal chains — a vintage-inspired detail that sets it apart at first glance. ✦ Free laser engraving Its generous size of 205 × 60 × 70 mm and weight of just 85 g easily holds colored pencils, pens, felt-tip pens, paintbrushes, or small tools — the large capacity of a school pencil case in the material of a fine adult accessory. The snap-button flap keeps the two sliders together and closes the case with a secure motion. For discerning students, artists, architects, and stationery lovers: the VOYAGEUR Sketch replaces the worn nylon pencil case with a leather companion that develops a patina and grows more beautiful with every use. Customizable with laser engraving, it bears your initials or first name — an everyday object that truly becomes yours.

Crazy horse leather — the anti-disposable pencil case

Crazy horse leather is full-grain leather treated with hot wax and oil using a process that gives it its oiled, matte, and deliberately rustic appearance. Its signature: a light waxy film on the surface that reveals lighter shades by contrast through friction — the "pull-up" effect, impossible to imitate in synthetic materials.

Applied to a pencil case — an object handled ten times a day, tossed in a bag, placed on every desk —, crazy horse leather plays its best role: every handling enriches the patina, every fold tells the story of a work session. Where a nylon pencil case frays and needs replacing every two years, the VOYAGEUR Sketch stands the test of time while growing more beautiful — it is the study or workshop object that is passed down, not the one that is thrown away.

The VOYAGEUR Sketch in everyday use

1
Fill it generously. Colored pencils, pens, felt-tip pens, paintbrushes, eraser, pencil sharpener: the 205 × 60 × 70 mm capacity holds all the equipment for a full drawing or study session without ever straining the zips.
2
Close the double zip. Bring the two sliders together in the center using the chains, then fold the snap-button flap over them: the sliders are brought together and locked — nothing will open in your bag.
3
Open it wide at work. Open both zips fully: the wide opening gives you access to all the contents at a glance, and the 70 mm depth allows the pencil case to stand upright on your desk, open like an improvised pencil holder.
4
Let the patina develop. Every handling enriches the crazy horse leather: the grip areas darken, the oiled appearance develops nuances. Your pencil case won't wear out — it will grow more beautiful.

What can you store in it? With its 20.5 cm interior length, the VOYAGEUR Sketch holds all standard pencils and pens (17-19 cm), short and medium paintbrushes, felt-tip pens, as well as small accessories — eraser, pencil sharpener, 15 cm short ruler, USB flash drives. It also works as a minimalist toiletry bag, emergency glasses case, or cable pouch for travelers.

Crazy horse leather care: wipe regularly with a soft, dry cloth — minor surface scratches are camouflaged with a simple pass of the thumb thanks to the pull-up effect. Once or twice a year, apply an uncolored leather milk or cream to nourish the fibers. Avoid prolonged contact with water, direct sunlight, and heat sources — and let time do its work: it is the best artisan of patina.

For an art student, architect, illustrator, stationery lover, or simply someone who still writes by hand, the VOYAGEUR Sketch is a gift of rare appropriateness: useful every day, beautiful on every desk, engraved with the recipient's name. Start of the school year, birthday, Christmas, passing an exam — the first engraving is free, you just need to indicate the text when ordering.

For an art school, studio, or company order engraved with a logo, simply check the "Add my logo" option on this page. You can also find our customizable range to create a complete stationery set — the pencil case naturally pairs with our leather notebook covers and document holders.

Frequently asked questions

What is the actual capacity of the VOYAGEUR Sketch?
With its dimensions of 205 × 60 × 70 mm, the pencil case comfortably holds a complete collection of colored pencils (20 to 30 standard pencils), or a selection of pens + felt-tip pens + eraser + pencil sharpener, or even short and medium paintbrushes for portable watercolor painting. The wide 70 mm base provides depth — it is a true work pencil case, not a flat case for three pens.
What is the snap-button flap for?
The leather flap folds over the two zip sliders brought together in the center and clips with a snap button: the sliders are thus brought together and locked, preventing accidental opening when the pencil case is shaken in a backpack or shoulder bag. It is also the visual detail that caps the pencil case and gives it its recognizable silhouette.
Why a double zip instead of a single one?
The double zip allows the pencil case to open wide from both sides simultaneously — the open case gives access to all the contents at a glance, without rummaging or tipping it over. Combined with the wide 70 mm base, it also allows the pencil case to stand upright, open on the desk, like an improvised pencil holder during a drawing or note-taking session.
How does the free laser engraving work?
The VOYAGEUR Sketch is part of the customizable Voyageur Collection. Indicate the text to engrave when ordering — initials, first name, date, or short phrase — and our workshop will perform the laser engraving on the leather before shipping, at no extra cost. The result is permanent, matte, and elegant: the laser marks the grain of the leather without piercing it or altering its suppleness.
How can I add a logo or additional engraving?
The first engraving is free. To go further, go to the "Engraving Options" box, just below the add-to-cart button, and check the desired option: "Add my logo" (€14.90 per item) to engrave a company, club, or event logo, or "Add an additional text area" (€5.90 per item) for a second text. The option is automatically added to the cart, at one per ordered item. For a logo, we will ask you for the file by email after the order: preferably use a vector file or a high-definition image, simple and well-contrasted, for a sharp result. An ideal solution for corporate gifts.
Will the crazy horse leather show marks with use?
Yes — and that is intended. Crazy horse leather is treated to reveal lighter shades by contrast through friction (pull-up effect). The grip areas darken, the folds become marked, and the patina develops with daily handling. Unlike a nylon pencil case that frays, the VOYAGEUR Sketch becomes more beautiful with time. Micro-scratches are camouflaged with a simple pass of the thumb.
Is it a good gift for a student or creative person?
It is one of the most appropriate gifts for an art or architecture student, illustrator, designer, or any stationery lover: useful every day, taken out for every class or workshop session, and engraved with the recipient's first name. It replaces the generic nylon pencil case with an object that has character — and its generous capacity makes it a true work tool, not just a decorative accessory. Start of the school year, birthday, passing an exam: the free engraving makes the difference.
