> Cork Pen Pouch < 2
> Prototyping < Inspired by natural materials and the act of making, the pouch is made from cork and is an interactive product that offers a sense of achievement through the user building the pouch with the lace up system.

People who really find value in the everyday items they carry, one which the pen pouch has a place in the day-to-day life.
