10 out of 10 for customer care! My order was returned to Maxwell Scott by Royal Mail as they couldn't find the address. Maxwell Scott re-sent it by Special Delivery and it arrived within 24 hours the second time. Very happy with my pen case and it was well worth the wait.

5no summaryF. Patel, London, United Kingdom
I write with a fountain pen and it is carried round in a leather pen case I purchased it in Germany oh around 20 years ago and it has given sterling service. However like myself it is showing its age and while I was somewhat reluctant to replace it, its something I had to do. So I spent an inordinate amount of time trying to find a worthy replacement and after searching pen shops across the land (Well actually London/Belfast) I came across this one. To be honest, it was in a price bracket which I didn't wish to enter into. However it was exactly what I was after. So with trepidation I clicked add to basket and waited.
It arrived within days and I have to admit the service from Maxwell Scott is above and beyond that from normal retailers. First of all the jiffy bag. Instead of the usual buff padded envelopes it arrived in a bright very attractive gold jiffy bag (Which I reused in which to post a gift) inside, the case arrived wrapped in tissue paper,(Which if you are buying something as a present would allow you to get away with wrapping it up) unwrapping the paper unveiled my pen case. It oozes quality, quite thick leather, very well stitched around the edges, embossed with the Maxwell Scott logo on the front and on the inside of the flap.
Unlike my previous case , which can comfortably take 3 pens, this one while able to take 3 (At a push) is better off off with just 2 inside.
All in very impressed with my purchase and I can see myself purchasing a few others as gifts. Yes they are expensive, but with this pen case you get what you pay for.Best of all it is made in Italy, which keeps European jobs alive.
51st class item M Bradshaw, Manchester , United Kingdom
I purchased this Pen case in Feb 2016 and it's been used almost every day and it looks better than new. I've found Maxwell Scott's leather goods just look better with usage. It is very well made as all of the Maxwell Scott items I have purchased (historically 6 items and last week 2 others bags, 1 for me and 1 for my wife) and today 3 other items.
I have found the them all extremely well made.
The leather quality is outstanding.
I have only purchased them in Chestnut Tan and the colour exudes quality.
And all my historical purchases have aged beautifully.
Without a doubt I would recommend this Maxwell Scott item
5Superb ProductG Dodson, Scotland, United Kingdom
I was looking for a sensible priced case to house my Mont Blanc fountain and ball point pens, something that did not detract from the value of the pens and protect them. This is ideal, a good looking case that is practical, slips into the pocket or briefcase and looks good on the board room table or kitchen table. It also fully matches the Gruppo phone case I bought adding a nice touch

5Expensive, but Excellent QualityS Winkler, Cardiff, UK
I did spend quite some time debating whether to spend so much on a case for my fountain pens. After reading some of the other reviews I decided to spend the money. It is just a leather pen case, but it is a very good quality one. It is quite stiff, but I am sure that it will soften with age and usage. I have some very nice fountain pens and this case does them justice. I use my pens daily, carrying them in my handbag or briefcase and feel that the case is sturdy and well made and will protect the pens.
It was well packaged, nicely wrapped so would be lovely as a gift, and arrived promptly.
Happy with my purchase.
5EXQUISITE PEN HOLDERA Smile, Canberra, Australia
What you see in the pictures is even more beautiful in reality. I just love the detailed work it went into making this stunning pen holder. I actually fitted four Caran D'Ache pens in it. I would definitely recommend buying it as it will last a lifetime if looked after :-)
5for a simple pen(cil case) but utterly beautiful. Superb leatherD Maxwell, Liverpool, UK
A tad of an extravagance, as one might expect, for a simple pen(cil case) but utterly beautiful. Superb leather; although it has a slightly unusual smell to my nose, not what I would have expected from Italian Leather. Perhaps as a result of the "vegetable-tanned" portion of the leather; not an offensive smell, merely not the smell that I have associated in the past with high quality leather.
Cons:
Be aware of the size of this item - whilst it comfortably holds 3 Parker standard size fountain pens it is not large enough to store a full size pencil (not that most would want to - given it is a "pen holder"!) - but the only area I could fault it.
5High quality - nice feelL Ferreira, Bournemouth, UK
Bought this and really pleased with it - easily fits a Cross fountain pen, a Montblanc fineliner and Cross propelling pencil. Good size and looks the part for the money!
5Wonderfully made, superb qualityM Goodey, Nottingham, UK
Wonderfully made, superb quality. You certainly get what you pay for, worth every penny. Packing exquisite, delivery fast and efficient. The quality is far better than other known brands in the price range. Other positive longer reviews say it all - buy it you will love it and I'm such a fussy shopper!
5Superbly Stylish, Oozes QualityJ Evans, Newcastle upon Tyne, UK
This may seem expensive, but if you love your pens then treat them to this fabulous case. It oozes quality and easily fits three large pens.
It is the perfect balance of style and functionality.
I can't recommend this enough for all pen lovers out there.
5 I am so pleased by this productJ Hannah, Norwich, UK
I am so pleased with this product. The leather is very high quality, soft but sturdy, hold two pens easily another at a push. It just oozes class. The leather feels nice to the touch and certainly does the job of protecting pens. Well done to the maker. Very highly recommended.
5Superb qualityA Sinclair, Bendigo, Australia
Superb quality, fits probably 3 decent sized pens, I use mine for two Dunhill Sidecar pens with room for a third although the depth of the case holds the two very comfortably and safely.
5Cannot recommend enoughM Tran, Vienna, US
You get what you pay for. It's a stunning leather pen case which was beautifully made from top quality Italian leather. Can fit up to three pens, but perfectly fits two oversized pens which I carry everyday. Also worth to note that the order was despatched very quickly via next-day tracked service.

5Much better than I had expected.L Bird, Australia
You read the reviews and sometimes you wonder if they are made up. I speak as I find and I'm well pleased with my pen case. It's top-notch. The only problem now is how to maintain it in a first-class condition. There was scant information on that. But overall 10/10. I will buy stuff from Maxwell Scott again.

5Could not be more pleased. this is a quality item.E Paul, Perth, Australia,
This is a quality item. Italian made, the finish and workmanship are exceptional. I bought mine to hold two Cartier pens, and they fit perfectly. A fountain pen, a ball pen and a spare ink cartridge. It enhances the pens and protects them. It is discrete and yet it is worth showing off. I could not be more pleased, and when you consider it is Italian, it is of good value.
5 I am pleased I purchased two of your leather pen casesA Norris, Cambridge, UK
I am pleased I purchased two of your leather pen cases. They are even better than the MONTBLANC leather cases I bought years ago. My MONTBLANC pens now sit proudly in YOUR superb well put together cases.

A perfect snug fit for my two Lamy and one Cross fountain pens. Good quality real leather and nicely finished. It appears to be well stitched and robust. There is a logo stamped into the front, but it isn't glaring or intrusive. Altogether very pleased with this. NB: The actual colour is a bit darker than the picture suggests (more a chocolate brown) and the finish is quite shiny (though this is softening with use).

5Quality LeatherJ GD, Mexico City, Mexico
This is a very nice looking pen case (it even smells of rich leather). In the pictures, it is shown with three writing instruments inside of it, but I have found that I can really only fit two fountain pens (a Lamy Safari and a Parker Sonnet). I suspect that if I used smaller instruments, I could fit three, but it is something to consider if you are purchasing this case for nicer or thicker pens.
5Excellent case, though it could use a divider.R Kaas, Perth, Australia
This is an awesome case, very well made. Because it has no divider, you might want to use it with a single large pen, or use something to prevent two pens from rubbing together. The case was very well packed and shipped extremely quickly, and is one of the best I have seen at this price point. The leather and workmanship are impeccable.

Why Is Our Leather Unique?
About Maxwell-Scott
Becoming the most loved bag brand in the world.
The story of our family-run business began in 2002 with a love for quality, long-lasting products. Our founder, William Forshaw, built Maxwell-Scott on the core pillars of superior durability and impeccable craftsmanship. Since that very day, we’ve made it our mission to bridge the gap between refined leather accessories and lifetime wear.
Inspired by the timeless charm of Italian leather and the classic elegance of British design, we use only the finest full-grain, vegetable-tanned Vachetta leather to craft our products. Our method is simple: honour generations of leather craft and obsess over every last detail.
Our industry-leading 25-year warranty combined with excellent customer service has earned Maxwell-Scott a worldwide reputation for superior durability and authentic quality. With our commitment to excellence extending beyond our product, every leather keepsake is quality-checked, hand-wrapped and delivered with care. You’ll find our dedicated customer care team is on hand to help with any assistance you may need, no matter how big or small.
Attainable luxury, maintaining and exceeding the quality of materials and construction at a reasonable price.
We measure our warranty in decades, not years. Our bags are crafted to the highest standards using the finest Italian materials.
Exclusively Sourced Leathers
Less than 1.5% of Italian tanneries are certified by the Genuine Italian Vegetable-Tanned Leather Consortium, that’s why only we can offer a 25-year warranty.
Bespoke In-House Restoration
We also offer an expert repair service at our atelier for any accidental damage, as we are truly committed to the longevity of our bags.
Tailored Support For You
You’ll always speak to a real person, not a chatbot or AI. Our experienced customer care team will pick up the phone and offer a personal service, for the lifetime of your bag.
An Investment for Life
We build heirlooms to last. After all, classic, sustainable fashion and timeless craftsmanship never goes out of style.
You’ll never fully appreciate the quality of a Maxwell-Scott product until you’ve held one in your hands.
We offer a full 60 day return period, so you can immerse yourself in the rich, Chestnut aroma of your unique, full-grain leather bag before deciding to keep it.
Our Return Process Is Simple
Fill out the form and send back your item, and we’ll process the return right away.
Please Note:
Due to their unique nature, personalised items cannot be returned.
Need Help?
Our experienced customer care team are happy to answer any questions or help with your return.
Two decades have passed, and we are still committed to using our unique, unparalleled Vachetta leather that only one tannery possesses the precise formula to produce. Our prestigious leather is certified by the Genuine Italian Vegetable-Tanned Leather Consortium, a certificate of quality awarded to less than 1.5% of Italian tanneries. By showcasing their trademark and quality assurance, we honour the heritage of skilled artisans.
Finest Full-Grain Vachetta Leather
Often imitated but never matched, our high-quality full-grain Vachetta leather is unrivalled due to three essential components:
1. HIDES - we source only European hides reared in perfect conditions, ensuring tough and durable leather with a quality finish.
2. TANNING PROCESS - we use a natural centuries-old technique of vegetable-tanning which is both organic and sustainable.
3. TANNERY - Our tannery is based in the heart of Tuscany, arguably the best region in the world. It has been awarded countless awards and delivers some of the 1.5% best leather in Italy. These factors combine to yield a premium, durable leather with exceptional visual appeal.
A Unique Patina
As time passes, a captivating patina will develop, subtly transforming its colour and aesthetic as it gracefully weathers the elements, a highly desirable characteristic of pure untreated leather, leaving a legacy of its journey. Unwanted marks and surface scratches can be effortlessly removed due to our slow process of drum-dying the leather all the way through, unlike faster methods of hand and surface dyeing. Our deep, earthy tanned leather is of unparalleled quality, allowing it to retain its natural strength, character, and properties without any alterations or corrections. In contrast, coated full-grain leather loses its appeal as it ages in as little as 12 months.
Sustainably Tanned With Chestnut Trees
We're committed to using a centuries-old technique that has remained unchanged for thousands of years. The process of vegetable tanning requires considerable time and patience, as our hides immerse themselves in drums for 60 days. We’ve always believed that the reward of sustainable, premium leather is worth the wait. With only 10-12% of the world's leather being vegetable-tanned due to quicker and cheaper methods of tanning becoming more prevalent, we are proud to honour the traditions and legacy of authentic leather craft passing the exceptional benefits onto our customers.
Guardians of a Rich Legacy
We honour an authentic approach to tanning leather, using Chestnut extracts to embrace a sustainable and organic method of dyeing, preserving a traditional practice that dates back thousands of years. The deep colour and natural scent of our signature leather are a testament to this ancient technique, enabling wearers to fully immerse themselves in the beauty of nature.
Crafted To Last a Lifetime
The combination of these factors forms a dependable yet timeless work of art, which will accompany you for a lifetime. To demonstrate our confidence, we offer an industry-leading 25-year warranty.
The Pienza is a classic Italian leather pen holder designed for discerning individuals and business executives on the go. The Pienza is handmade from the finest vegetable-tanned Italian leather and lined with hard-wearing faux-leather. This functional and sleek design can accommodate up to three pens and is slim enough to fit comfortably inside a jacket pocket. This fine leather pen holder can also be personalised for that special touch.
Why Is Our Leather Unique?
At Maxwell Scott, we believe that the key to exuding luxury is to create quality. We achieve the finest quality through our impeccably-sourced leathers...
Our leathers are exclusively full-grain. A term used in the leather industry to define the strongest top layer of the hide, we craft with full grain leather to ensure that our bags and accessories offer the highest durability possible.
Our leathers are sourced from premium, handpicked tanneries in Western Europe, most predominantly from Tuscany, Italy - the epicentre of the leather industry. Maxwell Scott's founder, William, has spent years seeking out the finest leathers in the world from niche and exclusive tanneries to guarantee the highest quality.
We honour the traditional technique of vegetable-tanning to dye our leathers. The industry's most sustainable tanning method, natural tannin extracts are rubbed into the grain of the leather to produce a rich and authentic finish.
We believe in creating leather heirlooms with character. We therefore do not coat our leathers with any synthetic substances. They are stripped bare and exposed to life's elements to develop a unique and desirable patina on the surface of the leather over time.
Due to the first-class quality of our leathers, we offer a 25-year warranty on all our bags and accessories.
