Thursday Drops: TWSBI Diamond AL Mini Grape, Laconic Style Stationery, and More Penco!

For those of your clamoring for a special release of the TWSBI Diamond Mini, well, we have great news for you: the Diamond Mini AL Grape has arrived! This vibrant purple miniature piston filler is in-stock and available for purchase as of this morning. Over the past week, we’ve also added new arrivals from Laconic Tokyo, which you can read about in last week’s blog post, as well as two new lines of mechanical pencils from Penco.

I’ve mentioned on Instagram and the blog that because I’m traveling this week, we are running a promotion where all orders placed between Saturday, May 6 and Sunday, May 14 will receive an extra pen, pencil, pocket notebook, or other special item. No coupon code is necessary! Orders placed starting today will ship within our normal 2-3 business day time frame, as I get “back to work” this weekend. Finally, for those of you looking for a sort-of-last-minure Mother’s Day gift, we do offer digital gift certificates (which will arrive in the form of an electronic code). See details here. Many thanks for your continued support!

The Gentleman Stationer is an authorized retailer of all products sold.

1. TWSBI Diamond Mini AL Grape. The latest release from TWSBI has arrived, and it’s a stunning purple version of the Diamond AL Mini, TWSBI’s pocket-sized piston filler! TWSBI fans have been clamoring for a special Mini release, and TWSBI has answered. For those who would prefer the standard pen, we also have the clear version available.

2. Laconic Style A5 Notebook System. This past week we introduced the “Laconic Style” Notebook System, featuring 10 different refills to help you customize your notebook or planner to your specific needs. I’m especially excited about the Laconic Bookmarkers, which work together with or separately from the Laconic Style notebook system.

3. Laconic Tokyo Mesh Pen Cases. These lightweight mesh pen cases come in two colors and three different sizes, with the largest capable of fitting a Laconic (or similarly sized) A5 Notebook, refills, and at least a few accessories.

4. Paul Smith x Caran d’Ache 849 Ballpoint Pen. The latest collaboration between designer Paul Smith and Caran d’Ache features six beautiful two-toned barrels in signature Paul Smith colors.

5. Penco Prime Timber 2.0 Leadholders. We recently received a shipment of these Penco wooden leadholders that click-to-advance like a mechanical pencil, and also ship with a sharpener. Available in four finishes. Read more here.

6. Penco “Passer’s Mate” Mechanical Pencils. Looking for a retro throwback to middle school? (Elementary school, maybe?) These colorful mechanical pencils from Penco feature a retractable tip and an eraser that removes to allow you to refill the pencil.

7. Lamy AL-Star Petrol and Lilac Special Editions. We have more of Lamy’s latest AL-Star releases, in fountain pen, rollerball, and ballpoint form. The Petrol finish especially stands out!

8. Lamy Cursive Fountain Pen Nib. This specialty fountain pen nib is sold separately, but we are happy to install it for you with the purchase of a compatible Lamy pen such as the Safari, AL-Star, Studio, and Vista. Just send us a message via the “Contact” link above after placing your order.

9. Lochby Venture Pouches. We are restocked on the Lochby Venture Pouch, the hybrid stationery pouch/pen case combo that sold extremely week at the Spring pen shows we attended. Available in three colors: brown, navy, and charcoal.

10. Lochby Field Journal A5 Refills. We are also restocked on Lochby Field Journal refills, featuring 68gsm Tomoe River Paper that is fountain pen friendly and compatible with any number of A5 notebook covers, including the Lochby Field Journal.
