Flight of Herons Zip Pouch

L 20cm x W 4cm x H 15cm 

100% sustainable Cotton case with Zips and Thread from recycled plastics

Fully Lined in Cotton with Leather Zip Pull

Add a bit more colour and pattern to your everyday with the new range of pencil and cosmetic cases. These zip pouches are truly versatile and are such a practical size they really can help keep your handbag or desk beautifully organised without compromising in colour or quality. 

The extra height you get with a zip pouch means there is so much more you can use this for.  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 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. 

Key to it being so practical is its square bottom - this isn’t just a flat pouch, it’s got a base to give it that extra give and also means that it can stand up too (depending on how you fill it of course!)

Featuring our Flight of Herons pattern, in 3 different colourways which are new for Spring 2025, these items represent the re-introduction of textiles back to Holchester Designs as I’ve found a collaborator to make them who values sustainable practices just like me.  

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.  

These are printed in Scotland on sustainable cotton, and then handmade (also in Scotland) in small batches to ensure minimum fabric waste.  The YKK zip is really sturdy, 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.  It will be posted out to you packaged simply with a recycled and recyclable tag, before being wrapped and posted out in our standard recycled/recyclable plastic-free packaging. 

Each colourway is available in three different sizes of case - Slim, Standard Pencil Case and Zip Pouch.   

Why not create your own gift set, mix and match colours and sizes in this pattern, or add some stationery too.  If you’re working with a bird theme the Brighton Birds and Paradise patterns are the place to go, or alternatively the Moonlit Moths is a similar style of print that complements it so well.  And the colours of the Deco Delights stationery range also looks *chefs kiss*. 

Launching just in time for Mother’s Day, this would be a great Mother’s Day gift or an alternative to an Easter Egg if chocolate isn’t their thing. I can even send direct to a recipient, and hand-write a message for you too - just select giftwrapping and add the information at the checkout.
