Well, I’ll kick off this Thursday’s “Drop” announcement with the news that everyone’s been waiting for: Grown-up Washi Tape is back in stock, as are many of the other patterns in our Washi Tape and Pins section! If the past is any predictor, the “fun” Washi Tape will be gone by sundown. :) The next round of T.G.S. Special Edition Penwells will arrive and start shipping on Saturday, so if you’d like to reserve one of these from a relatively small batch, pre-orders are available. To read more on what went into designing our first exclusive product, check out this post.
As noted below, we recently received a restock of many of our core Caran d’Ache products, including the 849 Rollerball and the woodcase pencils. Finally, don’t miss out on the most recent TWSBI releases, especially if you’d like to pair a Glow Green with the upcoming Glow Purple! Happy Shopping!
The T.G.S. Curated Shop is an authorized retailer of all brand sold, and T.G.S. is entirely supported by shop sales and pledges via the T.G.S. Patreon Program, which comes with early access to Gently Used sales, meetups, and more.
Caran d’Ache 849 Rollerball. We recently received fresh stock of the Caran d’Ache 849 Rollerball Pen, including additional pens in the matte grey, white, and black finishes. We also received more of the excellent CdA Rollerball refills in both black and blue ink, which are Parker-style cartridges that fit many different pens. You can read the full writeup on the Caran d’Ache 849 Rollerball here.
Caran d’Ache 849 Standard Ballpoint. We also have a full restock of the standard 849 ballpoint pens in most colors, including the popular sapphire, dark blue, and my personal favorite, matte anthracite grey. Matching mechanical pencils are also available.
Caran d’Ache 2022 Limited Edition Dark Violet and Pastel Yellow 849 Ballpoints. The Dark Violet pens sold out extremely fast, so we ordered more and they recently arrived. The Pastel Yellow, however, is a sleeper. The colors are designed to complement one another so why not make yourself a set?
Caran d’Ache Claim Your Style Edition No. 4. What’s your favorite of this year’s Claim Your Style pen? The two blue options are outstanding - especially the Polar - but “Frozen Lemon” and “Clay Green” might make their way into my own growing accumulation of 849s.
Caran d’Ache Ecridor Racing Ballpoint and Mechanical Pencil Sets. The Ecridor Racing might be my favorite of Caran d’Ache’s higher-end releases, with the matte-black coated finish paired with a bright red racing stripe.
Caran d’Ache Swiss Wood Pencils. We have Swiss Wood pencils available individually, in packs of 10, and in prepackaged gift sets perfect for the upcoming holidays. Most other Caran d’Ache pencils have been restocked as well, including the standard yellow office/school pencil and the wonderfully smooth 3B Edelweiss.
Caran d’Ache “Color Treasure” Postcard Sets. I took a flyer and stocked some of these, and it turns out I absolutely love them. Part of this year’s holiday collection, these postcards are printed on thick watercolor paper that allows you to color with anything from colored pencil to fountain pen ink!
TWSBI ECO “Cerulean Blue” Fountain Pen. Easily my favorite solid-color ECO fountain pen that TWSBI has released in the past couple of years (MAYBE with the exception of the discontinued Yellow), the Cerulean Blue is a vibrant dark turquoise that sets off the red finial. You can have a lot of fun with fountain pens for $32.99!
TWSBI ECO “Glow Green” Fountain Pen. Apparently the glow-in-the-dark “Glow Green” ECO has kicked off a trend, because TWSBI just announced the “Glow Purple,” which glows blue and will launch on Halloween with pre-orders available a few days ahead of time. Be sure to check out the pics below!
Platinum Preppy Wa Limited Edition Fountain Pens. This year’s Preppy Wa release features six new patterns drawn from Japanese tradition. Choose your favorite or collect all six for less than $50!
Platinum Plaisir “Aura” Fountain Pen. I’ve been enjoying the pearlescent finish on this year’s limited edition Plaisir, and I’m liking it even more now that I’ve figured out that you can swap the fine or medium nib in the Plaisir for the sweet extra-fine nib sold in the Platinum Desk Pen!
