In Spring 2008, the Carbolic Smoke Ball buying team - Philip Jenks, his wife and three children - holidayed in Southern Italy. One of the reasons we were there was to visit the Lalex leather works at Pastorano, where they cut and manufacture calfskin accessories using traditional techniques.
We watched the leather being dyed in casks, then cut to pattern, then shaped by steam on wooden moulds, and finally stitched together - all by Italian craftsmen and women who took enormous pride in their work.
The result of this visit was that Lalex agreed to make a range of products for Carbolic, each branded with the scales of justice.

This pen case is designed to accomodate 1-4 pens. It measures just under 7 inches long, and 1.5 inches wide. The material is soft calf leather, with an elegant zip running along the top of the case. The caps are semi-rigid so that the case retains its shape, and each end is stamped with a scales of justice.
The pen case comes in an extremely smart Lalex box, so makes an excellent present to family, friends, or clients. |
