StitchNest Book Band Pen Pouch

Handmade in small batches in China by Craft Artist Miss Qi, this textile StitchNest Book Band Pen Pouch is a hand-sewn book band pencil case with an elastic strap that secures to your notebook, keeping your pen and small tools protected and always within reach.

Behind the Product

For journal days, study sessions, and reading on the go, this slim pen pouch solves the tiny daily problem: where did my pen go. Wrap the elastic band around your book or notebook, zip in your favorite pen, and keep a calm, ready-to-write setup wherever you open the cover.

For Calm & Protection, your pen stays attached to your book, so you are always ready to write and your setup stays clean and stress-free.

Handmade Character

Hand cutting and hand sewing naturally create small variations in print placement, zipper alignment, and stitch lines. These subtle differences are normal and make each pen pouch one-of-a-kind.

Avoid heavy friction, sharp objects, and overstuffing to keep the embroidery crisp and the pockets in shape.

Shipping

Crafting time: most pieces are made to order and need about 2–5 business days. The current estimate for this design is shown on the product page.

Standard international shipping: free, usually 7–15 business days after dispatch.

Express options: paid express shipping is available at checkout to speed up the international transit time. Crafting time itself cannot be rushed, so we can keep the quality and careful checks.

All orders ship from Asia and US hubs with tracking so you can follow your parcel until it arrives.

Returns & After-sales

If your standard (non-custom) piece arrives damaged or very different from the description/photos, we will help you with a replacement or full refund and cover all shipping costs.

If you simply change your mind or feel it is not right for you (for non-custom pieces), you can return the item within 14 days from the delivery date. In this case, return shipping is paid by you, and we will refund the product price after we confirm it is undamaged.

For custom-made pieces (for example, sizes or details made only for you), we cannot accept returns unless there is a clear quality issue.

To protect your rights, we strongly recommend recording a short unboxing video when you open the parcel, so we can help you quickly if anything goes wrong in transit.

What Makes FolkMake Different

Authentic Chinese Handcraft：
Every piece is handmade in China by independent artisans or studios, never copied from factory molds, often drawing on symbols of blessing, protection and everyday luck.

Personally Selected Quality：
We only list pieces we would wear or gift ourselves after checking the details, finish and comfort in real life, and we highlight what each one is for, from calm or protection to love, strength, abundance or healing.

Clear Origin & Materials：
Each product page tells you who made it, where it comes from and what it is made of, in plain language.

Respectful Artisan Partnerships：
We work directly with each creator, discussing materials, techniques and fair pricing while honoring their vision, so you receive the piece in its most authentic form.

Why We Started FolkMake

We are a young Chinese couple, Cecilia Chen and Oliver Sun, who created FolkMake to travel across China, meet artisans, and choose handmade pieces that genuinely move us.

Each piece carries not only careful materials and craft, but also years of practice and personal vision. We keep pricing fair and reasonable so makers are properly paid and more people can discover their work, and we group our collections by intention so it is easy to find a piece that speaks to what you or someone you love needs most right now, whether that is calm and protection, luck and new beginnings, love and connection, strength and confidence, abundance and gratitude, or healing and comfort.
