I’m genuinely impressed with this leather pen case. The leather quality is exceptional, you can immediately tell from both the texture and the amazing genuine leather smell when you open it. It feels premium, well-crafted, and durable. I also chose the personalization option, which I really liked. The engraving looks great and adds a classy touch, even if I found it slightly large compared to the size of the case itself. Personally, I use it to store my Carène Ballpoint and Fountain Pen, and they fit perfectly inside. The Ballpoint model is a bit smaller, but both pens are held securely and comfortably. Overall, it’s a beautiful and elegant pen case that I would definitely recommend to anyone looking for a stylish way to protect their pens.
Great customer service! I had received the wrong size but Yunus quickly sent the correct one right away.
American composition notebooks are different size than the more popular Moleskin notebooks. So I was happy to find that Galen makes a leather cover big enough for them. And the covers are beautiful, simple and practical. Plus it keeps pencils, pens, rulers, notes and seed packets together in one place when I am out in my garden.
Simple, beautiful and practical. Keeps all my pocket notebooks together along with a pen. Then I can take pen and notebook out at same time, without rummaging in my bag for a pen.
Absolute perfect! Love the standard of workmanship and the practicality of it. I am using a TN size notebook in it.
My husband bought me this in navy and I love it!!! Very well made! Beautiful leather. And it can hold 3 pocket pens!
I have been using my notebook cover from Galen Leather for a month now and I am not only very happy that I choose to by this product, but I am really impressed by the quality and how practical it is!
I could not recommend this product or Galen Leather more. This is as close to perfection as one can hope for from real handmade products.
I just received my order a few days ago. I could not wait for it to arrive. The leather cover is so beautiful, and very well made. I learned of Galen via an independent stationer, Vanness1938, where I ordered a leather pen case, which is gorgeous. My experience with Galen was nothing but perfect. I am so pleased with my purchases, and will be placing another order very soon. Galen really shows appreciation to its customers, everything went smoothly. Initially, I was hesitant to place an order because of stories that I read of shipping companies adding surprise steep fees because of the political situation of the ever-changing tariff rules. Galen spelled out everything. There were no unpleasant tariff surprises. I will recommend them to people. Thank you for such beautiful, well-made products. Always support independent businesses, they care about their products and their customers!!!
A beautiful pen! I wanted this pants for quite a long time. It did not disappoint.
This is my second Kilk Celestial from Galen Leather. I love these pens! The resin is so pretty, with great depth and chatoyancy. I got the italic medium nib which I think gives great line variation, but is easier to use than either a stub or flex nib. I already have my eye on a third Kilk (that might be this year's Mother's Day gift).
On top of all that, Galen customer service is great. Customs here in the US messed up, and Fed Ex needed additional info before my pen could be released. Galen had already sent me the paperwork that solved the problem way back when they acknowledged my order. They warned me that Customs might be a problem and they sent me proof that they had already complied with the requirements. I forwarded that proof, and the problem was solved. Would it be better if my government hadn't decided to tariff everything under the sun and then screw up the bureaucratic process too? Yes. But Galen did their part. There shouldn't have been any problem at all. Since there was (through no fault of mine or Galen's) I'm really glad that they made it easy to prove that the tariff had already been paid. Otherwise, I'm sure either I would have had to pay it (again) or Fed Ex wouldn't have delivered the pen.
Galen provides quality products and Becks them up with great service. Thank you!
Nothing short of just pure excellence. The quality of it is impeccable, the joy of carrying it is immeasurable and its usefulness needs to elaboration.
But the cherry on top is how I received it. It came with a handwritten letter along with some other goodies that just fit the vibe.
Definitely making the wife get something from here and using this case as life long companion.
This pen, with a CSI/Briod nib, is a very smooth writer and so very pretty to look at. It is easy to fill with ink with a piston filler, has very smooth starts and is very well balanced without posting. This is the third Kilk/Galen collaboration that I own. I highly recommend this brand! This pen is in the middle of the picture.
To my travelers notebook. I was going to use it for my hobonichi but this is better to stuff things in.
I ordered the Galen x Fine Writing International Pencket in amber specifically because it offered non-standard nibs like this medium italic I chose. The rose gold plating is very pretty, and it writes just like i hoped when I bought it.
I wanted something with some line variation and this nib did not disappoint! I love how it feels when writing and it makes my handwriting look so much nicer!
My order shipped pretty quickly and arrived well-packaged as always.
Thank you Galen Leather for providing such wonderful nib options. I appreciate you and all the wonderful items you make and sell!
This is a great quality leather wallet for my EDC. Fast shipping and great quality.
I love everything about this pen. The Golden Abalone resin is just so beautiful and elegant, and the antique brass trim picks up the colors in the resin perfectly. The pen feels perfect in my hand. I got an italic nib, which makes my regular handwriting look so fancy! I love this pen! So much so that I've already ordered another one in a different color. Finally, the purchase went so smoothly and the pen arrived even sooner than promised. I'm a huge fan of Kilk pens and Galen Leather Co. products. Thanks for your commitment to quality items and quality service.
What a treat to open! There were thoughtful gifts in the box as well as the pen itself, which is a pleasure to handle and very striking.
It exceeded my expectations. Fast turnaround too!
I ordered a B5 cover crazy horse. On the picture it was kind of Yellow and I receive a cover crazy horse brown. For the Money spend + tips, I felt really disappointed when I opened it. I won’t command again in the future. For the price, the service should be impeccable.
This was my second purchase from Galen Leather and they do not disappoint!
I got the Crazy Horse Brown version of yours case and the leather is gorgeous! The leather is smooth, the color is beautiful and the quality of the case is amazing. I nice sturdy zipper and the sides of the case are structured/stiff. I already have (most) of my pocket pens in it, including my newest pen, the Pencket also offered by this shop. Like my last order, they also provide a bunch of goodies with your purchase. (See photo.)
I highly recommend this shop and everything they sell. They truly care about what they do and it's be much appreciated. Thank you Galen Leather, I'm one of your newest loyal customers!
I ordered this pen specifically so I could try a "non-standard" nib (medium italic). This pen is the same format and size as the Esterbrook Niblet, but cost significantly less, even with the italic nib.
I have a recent fascination with pocket pens so couldn't resist it. And with this being my first italic nib, I now want to try other nibs, so another purchase may be coming in the future. ; )
The color of this pen is a dark amber with a nice swirl to the resin and its chatoyance. It's a gorgeous pen and the medium italic nib writes beautifully. So smooth!
My order shipped very quickly (I didn't have any personalization done on this order), and arrived well-packaged and in good condition, and came with some extra goodies.
I highly recommend anything from this shop as they truly care about what they do, both in what they sell and with what they hand-make. Thank you Galen Leather! You have another loyal customer!
Years ago I bought a similar bag, at a similar price, from a large company. This bag from a small, family-owned business is SO much better. The inside is smooth and doesn’t shed. The (detachable) pockets inside hold my phone near the top. The magnet closure is a welcome bonus, and the handle straps are secure. I love it. The photo is one month in, and I can’t wait to see how it ages.
(PS: I found Galen through Carmella Rayone’s Substack.)
Was a tadge disappointed by the size, but it is well made and will meet some peoples needs who are minimalist. Not a lot of room, and the card holder bit is a bit of a waste really. Would be better if it was larger with a zipper wallet inside. Kaweco does fit the pen holder on the edge. Good well made wallet if not entirely practical for everyday use. Would be better a cm either way bigger with a zipper wallet inside or on the outside.
Another great Galen case which meets your demands if you get addicted to collecting pens. Plenty of room, nice large easy to manage zip and a worthwhile investment to protect your precious pens. Works well.
i love it and i use it like i id with others~~~~~
Extremely happy with my purchase. Houses my Kaweco’s perfectly. Forest Green is a great colour. Well made and secure case for the pens. Need another now !!!!!
