The carry problem, solved simply
A pouch that holds a pen or two alongside a small notebook sounds straightforward, but most of them fail in one of two ways: they’re too precious to use every day, or they’re so generic that the materials don’t add anything to the experience. The Scribbler sits outside both problems. The waxed canvas exterior handles being stuffed into a bag with keys and coins without complaint, and develops a worn-in character over time rather than looking worse for it. The reclaimed leather details are salvaged material rather than virgin leather — which is consistent with how Peg and Awl works across every piece they make: the studio is built around using materials that already have a story rather than starting new ones.
The sizing is genuinely practical: a few pens, an A6 notebook or memo pad, a couple of small loose items. It’s the right size for what most people actually carry on a daily basis, not the aspirational size that ends up sitting on a shelf because it’s too large for a normal bag.
Honest Note:
Who is it For?
FREQUENTLY ASKED QUSTIONS (FAQ)
Can this fit a full-size fountain pen?
A standard-length fountain pen (up to about 14cm capped) should fit comfortably alongside a small notebook. It’s not rigid or structured, so a very large pen may feel loose — it’s a soft carry pouch, not a hard case.
Is it waterproof?
Waxed canvas offers significant water resistance — not waterproof, but will handle a light shower without damage to the canvas itself. Contents are not sealed.
Does the leather age the same way as other Peg and Awl pieces?
Yes — the leather details will develop a natural patina with handling, in keeping with Peg and Awl’s design aesthetic across the range.
