We’re excited to finally reveal a project that’s been in the works for some time: our first collaboration with San Francisco-based Rickshaw Bagworks and a local member of our Nashville pen club, artist and designer Nick Dominguez! Featuring Nick’s signature “Clouds” pattern, we currently have nine cases from which to choose, including a Fillmore, Sinclair, and 2-Pen Coozy in three different color options. The Fillmore has six pen slots with room for more and opens like a book, while the Sinclair “Model R” has three pen slots with a more open design. The Coozy is your typical two pen sleeve. All Rickshaw cases feature their signature plush liner that protects pens from scratches and (most) drops.
The Classic Sinclair “Model R” builds on the original Nock Co. design. This is one of my favorite pen cases of all time!
Nick created the “Clouds” design using multishading fountain pen inks. According to Nick,
“Multi-shading fountain pen inks and clouds have always captivated me for the same reason: their fluid, ever-shifting forms never look the same twice. This artwork aims to bring that parallel to life. Each cloud pattern flows and changes through color and variation, which is what makes working with and writing with these inks also so mesmerizing.”
The T.G.S. x Rickshaw cases are currently available in the “Cases and Accessories” Section of the T.G.S. Curated Shop, and will also be available in-store this week. Please note that we are unable to “hold” items for in-store purchase, though you are welcome to purchase online and select “in-store pickup” to reserve a case and collect your order during normal business hours.
Our Nashville store hours are 1-6pm Thursday and Friday, and 10am-6pm Saturdays. While we do accept shopping by appointment, we require at least 24 hours notice and appointments are discretionary based on our schedule outside normal shop hours, especially during early January as we take inventory. Thanks for your understanding!
And of course there’s the 2-pen Coozy option, which holds two pens (or mechanical pencils) and will fit inside the Rickshaw zippered cases.
