Flight of Herons - Full Cases Set

Bring colour and pattern to your handbag, luggage and desk with a full set of cases in the elegant Flight of Herons pattern. 

These cases are truly versatile and such practical sizes that they can really help you keep your handbag or desk beautifully organised (and portable) without compromising on colour or quality. 

This set includes three cases - one of each size - so no need to stress about which size to go for.  And you can choose either all the same colour, or the 'multicolour' option which is as shown (Sky Blue/Hot Pink Multi-purpose Zip Pouch, Dark Teal/Golden Yellow standard case and Dusky Rose/Teal Slimline pencil case).

The pattern was originally inspired by some research I was doing into migrating birds (my daughter had asked a question!) and images I saw of the flocks flying in formation.  Using my original hand-drawn sketch, drawn in a style inspired by wire-jewellery, these motifs were refined digitally before turning them into a repeat pattern.  

The fabric for this collection has been printed in Scotland on sustainable cotton, and then handmade (also in Scotland) in small batches to ensure minimum fabric waste.  Each one has a YKK zip that is really sturdy and has been made from recycled plastic and with a leather zip pull for ease of opening.  Plus the thread used is also from recycled plastic and the case is fully lined for maximum practicality too.  

In this set you will find: 

Slimline Pencil Case in Dusky Rose (L 21.5cm x W 6cm x H 4.5cm)

Great for easily keeping a few bits together, whether it’s coming to a meeting with you or stopping things getting lost at the bottom of your handbag. It can easily store a few pens and pencils in it, some makeup essentials, your headphones/lip balm/hair-ties or even just to keep your epi-pen or medication concealed but easily to hand. 

Standard Cosmetics/Pencil Case in Teal (L 20cm x W 4cm x H 11cm)

Yes, you can neatly store your stationery in it to keep bits together, but it’s also a great size for some makeup or toiletry essentials, any medication you need to carry around with you, or even small electricals. And it’s squared based also means it can stand up for you (depending on how you fill it), and isn’t the sort that spends forever on it’s side.

Zip Pouch in Sky Blue (L 20cm x W 4cm x H 15cm)

The extra height you get with a zip pouch is what makes it even more versatile. Of course it’s perfect for stationery storage - you can get a whole set of pens, pencils, rulers and even scissors, washi and journalling essentials in too. But it can also be used as a toiletry or makeup bag, a travel bag to keep your key documents together in your hand-luggage, or keep your small electricals or laptop attachments in it so they’re not rolling around and getting caught on other things. 

(Personally, I use my one of these for headphones, mouse, external hard drive and all the extra cables that come with my laptop).

These each have minimal packaging with just a recycled and recyclable tag, before being wrapped and up together and posted out in our standard recycled/recyclable plastic-free packaging. Want them gift-wrapped in Holchester Designs wrapping paper? Just add it on during checkout. 

I want my products to leave as little a mark on the planet as possible. And with this in mind all my products are:

Made in the UK by manufacturers who all source their materials, manage their materials and deal with their waste responsibly. 

1 tree is planted for every order in partnership with Ecologi.

All packaging is plastic free, from tags and belly bands to postal packaging, and where possibly is also used multiple times. 

If your item does come covered, it’s in a biodegradable cellophane which will naturally decompose but also keeps your paper looking crisp on it’s travels. 

You can read more about my attempt to be as sustainable a business as possible in this blog post. 

All orders are processed within 3-5 working days and standard postage is via Royal Mail Tracked 48. 

All items are sent plastic free and in some cases the postal packaging you receive may have been used before.  Wherever possible I do recycle packaging, but I do check it’s in good enough condition to protect your items before it’s used.  I don’t, however, think it’s right to say I'm all about being sustainable and then use totally fresh postal packaging for every order. 

For all non-personalised items we accept returns up to 14 days after delivery, as long as the item is unused and in its original condition.

Do you make everything yourself? 

All the designs you see on my products are the results of my own original hand-drawn artwork which in turn I transform digitally into repeat patterns.  The physical products are then printed/made/sewn by specialist manufacturers from around the UK. 

Do you use AI in your designs?

AI (Artificial intelligence) is not used at any stage of my creative process. 

As a small business who uses lots of different tools, it’s impossible to avoid AI altogether in the running of my business, but my creative process is absolutely where I draw the line.  You can read more about my thoughts on AI, and how it is involved in other areas of my business, in this blog post. 

Do you take wholesale orders?

Absolutely I do - it’s my favourite way of getting my stationery out into the world! You can find more information on the wholesale page of my website.
