Review: Derwent Canvas Pencil Wrap

This is the Derwent canvas pencil wrap with a 30-pencil capacity.

It's a simple canvas wrap with faux leather trimmings, and there's a strap with click on button to hold everything together.

Overall, it looks and feels durable enough, but the button can have blemishes develop on it with time.

There's a piece of flap at the top that protects the pencil tips.

The wrap holds the pencils with individual rubber slots. Each pencil fits nicely and tight in each slot. There are 27 small slots and 4 big ones. The 4 big one can hold 3 pencils each but the slots aren't tight enough so the pencils are likely to fall out if you're not careful when rolling up the wrap.

So actually, if you consider all the slots, you can hold up to a maximum of 36 pencils.

The last big slot at the edge is not covered by the flap. There's a pocket there that can hold a smaller sharpener but I prefer to carry the sharpener separately.

The height of the pencil wrap just about cover a full length pencil.

This is how it looks all wrapped up. The pencils are tightly held together.

This is a good and affordable pencil wrap, good value for money. I've no major complaints.

If you have more coloured pencils, then you'll either need two of these, or look for larger cases.
