A pencil case that treats your tools as well as you do. The Clairefontaine Flying Spirit Leather Pencil Roll is made from genuine lambskin leather — supple, soft to the touch, and dyed with natural colourings — and designed to carry pencils, pens, short-handled brushes, and similar tools in a format that rolls up compactly for transport and unfolds cleanly for use. It is the kind of accessory that makes carrying a well-chosen set of drawing tools feel considered rather than improvised.
The roll holds up to five tools in individual slots — sized to accommodate a good range of pencil and pen diameters — with a protective flap that folds over the tops of the tools when the roll is closed, preventing them from slipping out and shielding the tips from knocks during carry. Once filled, the roll folds over itself and is secured with an adjustable leather tie that fastens with a simple knot — a clean, practical closure that takes seconds to open and close and avoids the zip failures that plague lesser pencil cases over time.
Flat open dimensions are 26.7 x 20.5cm — a generous working size that accommodates full-length pencils and standard brush handles comfortably. Rolled and tied, it is compact enough to slip into a bag or large pocket without taking up disproportionate space. Part of the Clairefontaine Flying Spirit collection, which is designed to complement the Flying Spirit sketchbooks and pads — the combination of the black leather roll and a black Flying Spirit sketchbook is one of the more quietly stylish location sketching setups available.
The leather is genuine lambskin of superior quality, soft and durable, and will develop a natural patina with use that improves the character of the case over time.
How many tools does it hold? Five — in individual slots sized to accommodate a range of pencil and pen diameters from standard pencils through to broader brush handles. The protective flap covers the tips of all five tools when the roll is closed.
What tools is it suitable for? Pencils, coloured pencils, pens, fine liners, short-handled brushes, and similar tools up to standard pencil length. It is not designed for long-handled painting brushes.
How is it secured when rolled? An adjustable leather tie fastens with a simple knot — clean, reliable, and quick to open and close. There is no zip or clasp to fail or damage tools.
Is it genuine leather? Yes — the Flying Spirit Pencil Roll is made from genuine lambskin leather of superior quality, soft and supple to the touch and dyed with natural colourings. It will develop a natural patina with use over time.
Does it match the Flying Spirit sketchbooks? Yes — the Flying Spirit Pencil Roll is part of the same Clairefontaine collection as the Flying Spirit sketchbooks and pads, and is designed to complement them as a coordinated location sketching kit.
