Hobonichi Pen Case Small Drawer Pouch (Bow & Tie: Sheep Sheep Sheep)

The Hobonichi Small Drawer Pouch in the "Bow & Tie: Sheep Sheep Sheep" design is a long-format pencil case crafted from genuine tie fabric. The vibrant green woven polyester features a pattern of evenly distributed sheep silhouettes – woven in with the fine texture and subtle sheen characteristic of tie fabric. Look closely and you'll discover a sleeping sheep, one mid-fence jump, and one sporting a pompadour hairstyle on a skateboard. The case opens flat via zip and reveals the entire contents at a glance.

Features

• Tie fabric exterior (woven polyester): The weave has a pleasantly textured, lightly lustrous surface – neither smooth-synthetic nor flat-matte, but with the characteristic hand of jacquard fabric. The sheep pattern is woven in, not printed, so it remains permanently sharp and colourfast.
• Lay-flat opening: The zip runs the entire length; when unfolded, the case lies completely flat. All compartments are immediately visible and accessible – no rummaging inside.
• Three flat pockets (left side): Perfect for business cards, loyalty cards, rulers or sticker sheets. Pocket width accommodates standard card sizes.
• Expandable mesh pocket (right side): Takes items with more volume – pens, washi tape, scissors, erasers or charging cables. An interior pen band holds a single pen securely.
• Exterior pocket: A flat back pocket for items that need quick access: a single pen, tickets, business cards.
• Compact format despite capacity: Even when fully packed, the case closes into a flat, handbag- and backpack-friendly package.

Use & Tips

• As a writing case: Fountain pens, fine-tip pens, pencils and an eraser fit comfortably in the mesh pocket; sticker sheets, rulers or stencils go in the flat pockets on the left. The lay-flat system makes the case as practical on the desk as in your bag.
• As a planner companion: Washi tape, sticky notes, glue stick and a spare pen fit side by side without stacking – everything visible at a glance when opened.
• As a travel organiser: Charging cables, headphones, tablets or small items that would otherwise get lost in a rucksack – the case keeps everything organised and is as slim as a wallet.
• On the desk: Unfolded as a small depot for frequently used pens and office tools – the case stays flat and takes up minimal space.
• Pen recommendations: Slender fountain pens up to around 14 mm diameter, fine-tip pens and mechanical pencils fit well in the mesh pocket. The interior pen band keeps a favourite pen securely in place.

For Hobonichi Enthusiasts

The tie fabric from the "Bow & Tie" series is not a printed weave but a genuine woven jacquard – the pattern is created by the interplay of warp and weft threads and sits slightly raised on the surface. This gives the fabric its characteristic feel: tactile, with a fine texture that traces beneath your fingertips. The vibrant green with woven sheep silhouettes comes from Japanese tie production and has the same distinctive silk sheen as genuine tie fabric – even though the material is polyester. This makes the case easy to care for and shape-stable, without sacrificing the visual character of silk fabric.
