Rosemary & Co Large Brush Case

A practical, structured brush case from Rosemary & Co for painters who carry more than a couple of brushes. The nylon body has a firm outer casing and an all-round zip, so it sits between a floppy cloth roll and a heavy hard case — more protection than a roll, but light enough to travel.

Why painters reach for it

• 18 dedicated brush pockets — tips stay apart so they don't crush, splay or rub.
• 2 large storage pockets — colour notes, a palette knife, business cards or workshop sheets.
• Holds brushes up to 35.5 cm — full-length oil and acrylic handles, not only short detail brushes.
• Strong outer casing + all-round zip — contents stay put in transit.
• Just 350 g — folds flat to slip into a bag or studio drawer.

How it works

Open it flat and you get 18 individual brush pockets down one side, with two larger pockets on the facing panel for notes and flat accessories. Closed, it folds to a slim 17 × 39 × 3 cm — easy to stand on a shelf or drop into a bag. Equally at home on the studio bench, in a teaching kit or packed for plein-air work.

Capacity & fit

The 35.5 cm maximum length is generous — it comfortably takes full-length oil and acrylic brushes as well as shorter watercolour and detail brushes. Eighteen pockets cover a solid working set: a few large brushes, your everyday rounds and flats, plus spare detail brushes.

Pro tips

• Load brushes head-up so the tips never take any weight.
• Let brushes dry fully before zipping shut — trapped damp brushes can mildew the ferrules and pockets.
• Keep a colour-mixing note card or palette knife in the large pockets so your kit travels as one unit.
• Closed, it slides down the back of most rucksacks alongside an A4 pad.

Honest note

This is a structured soft case, not a rigid hard shell. It folds flat — it does not stand up as an easel, and the pockets are sleeves rather than individually foam-padded. For everyday carrying and storage it does its job very well; if you need crush-proof, airline-grade protection, a hard case is a different category.

Brushes are not included — any brushes shown are only to demonstrate how the pockets are used.
