When I was sixteen I bought myself a little zip around leather writing case at Boots in Bishop's Stortford. I still have it, I have used it continuously for over forty years. The edges are somewhat bare, but I'd never part with it. It's also travelled with me to many places.
But when I espied this one on EBay for one pound I could not pass it by. I love leather, because unless it has been absolutely hideously ruined, just a little leather polish and elbow grease and it's rejuvenated.
This little writing case is a slightly heavier leather than my old one. a little smaller but thicker. I love the crimson lining. Of course American writing pads will not fit in it. I definitely need to buy a small Basildon Bond writing pad for it. I'll do so when I'm in the UK in April.

Its beautiful but sadly I send and receive few letters nowadays. email and texting my be convenient but you can't beat a handwritten letter to read over again.
