Galen Leather Co Zipper Pen Case Review

There is a company out of Turkey that has taken our little community (and our hearts) by storm over the last several years called Galen Leather Co. Started in 2015 by a family of entrepreneurs; Zeynep, Yusuf (her brother), and Yunus (her husband), and they’ve been continuing to deliver high quality goods since.

There is a company out of Turkey that has taken our little community (and our hearts) by storm over the last several years called Galen Leather Co. Started in 2015 by a family of entrepreneurs; Zeynep, Yusuf (her brother), and Yunus (her husband), and they’ve been continuing to deliver high quality goods since.

Sadly, just last year in 2019 Zeynep passed away from health complications she’d been facing which was/is such an astounding loss to her family, the community, and the brand she loved and created. To carry on her wishes and dream, her husband and brother have kept the brand going and each piece they send out is a tribute to what she helped to create.

If you haven’t already, please take some time to read through their story. Our community has more than just pens or stationery products… it has real people behind them.

Since the beginning of my pen loving journey, something I’ve always run into as a challenge is storage. Once you start acquiring more and more pens, knowing how and where to keep them begins to be a challenge. “Well, just don’t buy so many pens!” one might say… try telling that to a pen addict.

This problem has lead me down many paths, the first of which was creating my own line of wooden pen stands called Dudek Modern Goods back in 2013 since I couldn’t find what I wanted which still work for my “on the ready” pens. But for even more storage I have converted an IKEA cabinet with drawers into a big pen case, but took a ton of space in my office. I’ve bought smaller “chests” with drawers that hold 60-70 pens, but find opening all the drawers to find the one is somewhat cumbersome.

What is one to do?!

Yunus from Galen was kind enough to reach out to me to see about reviewing some of their products (there will be two reviews total), and one of the items I asked to try out was their leather 40 pen zipper case in crazy horse brown color. He agreed and sent one my way, so special thanks to him for sponsoring the review!
