Lamy SAfari Japan Limited Pen Case

[Pinkys.Brain]

For those who didn't know:

Japan now (= since last year) has an official Lamy Store in Osaka (it's managed the import firm for Lamy products DKSH Japan).
That alone might not be very news-worthy, but they have a Japan only Lamy Safari pen case with a nice and quite unique design (designed in Japan by LED [Live Entertainment Design]):

- It holds up to four Safaris. One can be without without opening the case.
- Black bridle-/saddleleather on the outside, yellow-brown cow hide on the inside.
- It is not cheap with ~$235.

On one page they advertise it as a product for the 30th anniversary of the Lamy Safari, on another page to celebrate the 150 years of Japanese-German friendship in 2011).


Let's hope for more Lamy designs from Japan

Let's hope for something reasonable in cost, first. I'd sooner have a Hello Kitty Pen Box than fork over that much dough for a pen case.

I agree that the price way too high. And while I like the nifty design: Why not elastic loops for the pens or something else to hold the three additional pens?

Happy daze! How many Safaris will $235 buy??

I'll admit that it looks very cool, but the price is insane. All four pens don't add up to half the price of the case. Huh?

Heck your local cobbler will custom make something like that for less money.
