A small pen case that can be turned around
Mekuru® Pen Case - Liscio -
A flip-up pen case
"A small pencil case for adults."
Mekuru is a pen case for adults that fits neatly into the side pocket of a bag or the breast pocket of a jacket, and can be used smartly to carry just 2-4 of your precious pens.
The challenge of slim pencil cases
For those who only carry a select few pens, a slim, small pen case that fits easily in a bag or pocket is perfect.
However, the slimmer the pen case, the harder it is to see what's inside and the harder it is to take out pens. If you can't take out your pens smoothly, it's not smart.
Mekuru is slim yet solves this problem.
Just flip it over and take it out
The distinctive feature of Mekuru is that the zipper extends to the back of the case, allowing you to simply flip up the top and take out your pens with minimal effort.
The feeling of turning the pages is so pleasant thanks to the luxuriously thick leather, about 2mm thick. You can use it for a long time without worrying about the lining wearing out.
Opens wide to become a pen tray
If you open the zipper wide, you can also use it as a handy pen tray while it is still on your desk.
Compact and lean size
It can store 2-4 pens.
Because it is compact, we focused on making it a compact size with no wasted space.
The leather pieces are not stitched together, and the zipper acts as a gusset, so there is no wasted space. This comfortable pen case is made of exceptional leather and has just the right size.
Attention to detail
The zipper puller is an original, with the mold custom made by YKK.
The surface has no logo and is a simple design consisting of only straight lines and circles. The holes are perfectly circular, which reduces unnecessary force on the slider and ensures durability.
The brand logo is engraved small on the back of the handle so as not to stand out and ruin the simple design. It also has a convex shape to prevent slipping. When viewed from the side, the tip is thicker, which is the result of our focus on making it easier to hold.
Although it is a very small part, it encapsulates SYRINX's design philosophy.
"Excella" is Japan's proud YKK's highest quality zipper.
The zipper is YKK's top-of-the-line zipper, Excella, which is used by many high-end brands.
The difference between Excella and regular zippers is that each element is carefully polished to create a highly precise construction. However, the difference is almost invisible from the outside unless you use a magnifying glass. In fact, you'll be surprised to hear that regular metal zippers move more smoothly. Excella has little play in the interlocking parts, so it may be stiff at first and may feel a bit catching.
So why Excela?
This is because the durability is different. The less precise the zipper, the looser the fit and the smoother the movement, but over time the zipper will come undone and other problems will occur. Excela zippers are made with meticulous care, with each of the teeth (the interlocking metal parts) carefully polished, and are said to be several times more durable than regular zippers. The more you use it, the smoother the movement will become.
Excela is usually used in luxury wallets and is rarely used in pen cases, but since it will be opened and closed many times every day, we focused on ensuring its high quality.

Origins
Liscio is an Italian word meaning "smooth. The surface is smooth and fine, with natural unevenness in color, giving the leather an elegant and tasteful look.
Tanning and Manufacturing
Vacchetta leather has been used in the Tuscany region of Italy since the early 9th century. The cowhide is tanned with vegetable tannin extracted from chesnut and mimosa, and then soaked in oil slowly and finished with dyes. The more the leather is used, the more the oil soaks into the leather, deepening its color and luster.
Maintenance
Since it contains sufficient oil inside, oil care is not necessary unless you are concerned about scratches or dryness. We recommend dry brushing with a soft cloth on a daily basis.
