Bobo Choses Tag Pencil Case

I genuinely love the colours on this. The soft lilac, mint, coral and olive feel fresh without shouting, and together they make something as ordinary as a pencil case look really good.

It's properly roomy too. There's enough space for all the pens, pencils and rulers that seem to multiply throughout the school year, but it still slips easily into a backpack without taking up half of it. The zip opens nice and wide, so children can actually see what's inside rather than emptying the whole thing onto a desk.

I think that's why I like it so much. It's practical, but it doesn't look like someone designed it to be practical first and interesting second. It feels considered in exactly the way Bobo Choses usually gets right. The colours make you smile, the shape is simple, and somehow even a pencil case feels like something you'd be pleased to own.
