Sailor Susutake pens are becoming rare even in Japan. To see them back in Europe is exceptional. If you have missed the Susutake before this may be your chance to buy this beautiful pen.

The Blackwing Vol.73 Lake Tahoe has arrived ! Each pencil features a Tahoe blue finish and raised texture that mimics the lake’s topography. The number 73 references Lake Tahoe’s last measured Secchi depth of 73 feet.

I have been playing with the idea to open an Ink Bar for sometime now. Only it is not very practical to organise when we have over 350 colours of ink.  The Diest Supermercado Festival seemed a very nice start to try out an "Australian Ink Bar ". Seventy five colours of the Robert Oster Signature inks will be available for the public to try them out. And not only as a writing ink. We"ll have all kind of tools ready to colour the world into a Australian scenery. Perhaps I may convice somebody to write again ... 

By the way, the theme for the Supermercado this year is ... "Argentina". I was thinking : both countries start with an "A" so nobody will notice ;o).  

After eight months finaly in the house the Nakaya Nuno Kise Honkataji in an arai shu colour. Half mat brown-orange-vermillion colour which will enlighten with time. The intentional "crack" refers to worn negoro nuri lacquerware. 

Our Pelikan collection starts with the Special Edition Pelikan 800 Renaissance Brown. An ode to the Renaissance painting. A ballpoint and fountain pen with mother-of-pearl effects in a warm brown acrylic with refined nuances of light and dark. What more could you wish for ? Available from this moment on. Do not hesitate, when they're gone they're gone !
