AIBU to want a to be able to find my dd a pencil case??

[QueenMabby]

Sorry, but this is driving me up the wall (sad, I know).
Dd needs a new pencil case for school. She would like multiple sections/layers but “grown up” ie no unicorns, txt speak, sequins.
She has had a Smiggle one for the past three years and loves the size but really has outgrown the cutesy/bright vibe.
No problem I thought. But no. Nothing. It’s now making me irrationally angry - I know I am probably being vvu but I’m hoping you fount-of-all-knowledge ladies can redirect my anger (and me!) to something more appropriate.
Can you help me find this elusive pencil case?

[Th1me]

My 16 year old dd has just asked me to order this for her:

[emissionspectra]

There are some on amazon e.g. www.amazon.co.uk/HOWNY-Double-Students-Capacity-Storage/dp/B07VPCMKN8/ref=mp_s_a_1_1_sspa?psc=1&s=gateway&keywords=pencil%2Bcase%2Blayers&th=1&spLa=ZW5jcnlwdGVkUXVhbGlmaWVyPUFGSjVWMEo1M01TQUImZW5jcnlwdGVkSWQ9QTA1OTM3NTg0MDlHVkRaUUg2TDcmZW5jcnlwdGVkQWRJZD1BMDU4NjM3NzE4SDVCWE80UzhINVImd2lkZ2V0TmFtZT1zcF9waG9uZV9zZWFyY2hfYXRmJmFjdGlvbj1jbGlja1JlZGlyZWN0JmRvTm90TG9nQ2xpY2s9dHJ1ZQ&qid=1566149071&sr=8-1-spons&tag=mumsnet&ascsubtag=mnforum-21

Also try more grown up stationary shops like Paperchase/Muji etc?

[yeraballoon]

Put pencil case into amazon, loads of plain ones come up.

[rugshade]

Amazon.

[SqueakyPig]

Paperchase are amazing for stationary, they’ve got ranges to suit all ages and styles.

[QueenMabby]

Thanks. Have done Paperchase (no multi-section ones) and Amazon - been looking for hours!
She doesn’t really want plain - she’s only 10 so wants something like a marbles pattern or similar but with the facilities of her Smiggle one. Any further suggestions or have I just spotted a gap in the market??

[QueenMabby]

marbled not marbles obviously.

[dementedpixie]

Dd has this one from Amazon

[SouthernLands]

Satch?

[Scoleah]

My daughter has asked for this as it has triple sections.
Also wouldn't mind a Hype pencil case but they don't come as a Multi section

[Trillis]

Just a thought, but if she wants sections, would a pencil roll be useful instead of a pencil case? My DD uses one and there are a few larger elastic sections at the end for rulers/rubbers. She does keep her maths kit separately though. Some really stylish designs.

Randomly, Ryman’s had kids that were grown up enough for my about to start secondary son but there was still choice.

We are back at school here already but we got ours a couple of weeks ago in Asda & Tesco, they had lots of options for you. If you have more ££, then W H Smith has a massive range.

[Hoppinggreen]

14 year old DD uses a make up bag instead as they tend to be bigger and she can get her calculator and stuff in
Currently she has a Ted Baker one but will be getting a new one for September

[Skinnychip]

My Dd bought a make up bag to use as a pencil case but it doesn't have different sections....

[Soubriquet]

What about something from gorjuss?

[EleanorReally]

My son has this one from ebay. Less than £5

[hazeyjane]

Dd1 has this one from Amazon, it fits everything and has lasted well.

[EleanorReally]

You might be able to get some unique from a charity shop or independent shop

[anothernotherone]

There are of these in the shops where we live - DD has one with a tiny skateboard attached... There are loads on Amazon too though - is it that your DD has a more specific requirement than you've mentioned? There are plenty with sections and patterns (squares or similar) which an adult could use but aren't completely plain, as well as tons of plain ones and some novelty onesteens would carry off...
