A gift that gets used every day!
My brother loves his birthday present — one of our PNE pen pouches — and now uses it with his diary every day as he fills in bookings for his business while he’s on the go. No more scrabbling around for a pen when his phone is already in his hand!
When we first started making our pen pouches, we had no idea how popular they would become. They really do make a great gift. After all, isn’t it much nicer to give something that is useful as well as attractive, rather than simply adding to the “stuff” we all accumulate?
And, as always, there’s added value behind every one. Each pen pouch is handmade by members of our sewing team who are deaf, giving them the opportunity to earn an income and contribute towards supporting their families.
They may look simple to sew, but simple things are often the hardest to get right — there’s nowhere for mistakes to hide!
Can you spot the little clips in the photo? They help our makers learn how to keep everything straight and achieve just the right amount of elastic tension. It’s an important quality-control point, particularly because the black elastic and the coloured elastic can have slightly different tensions.
We’re always trying out new designs and fabrics, so whether you pair one with a plain diary cover or one of our beautifully patterned textile covers, they make a practical and thoughtful combination.
Useful. Attractive. Handmade with purpose
