Travel week, so it’s Friday Drops instead of Thursday, but we still have a ton of new stuff to share! Dark Sapphire TWSBI ECOs are available to ship, along with additional matte black 580 ALR fountain pens and the Caran d’Ache “Blue Lagoon” 849 sets! We also have a ton of new pencil stuff to share, from both Portuguese manufacturer Viarco as well as Japanese sharpener specialists NJK. See Tuesday’s post for additional details!
Viarco’s designs are inspired by their back-catalog of pencils. All are still being manufactured in Europe!
Finally, Lamy inks are back in stock, including bottles and cartridges of the new “Cliff” and “Blackberry” releases. Dark Lilac should be arriving early next week, and I can’t wait to do a comparison! Enjoy!
I’ve been traveling for the last couple of days, but the trip is winding to a close so we’re back on schedule and any orders placed today through Sunday will ship within our normal 1-3 business day time frame.
TWSBI ECO Dark Sapphire Fountain Pen. TWSBI has been building out its stable of classic designs this year, and the latest release is a dark blue ECO, which looks great offset with the red TWSBI finial.
TWSBI Diamond 580ALR Fountain Pen. As with the blue ECO, I consider the Black Diamond 580ALR to be a classic in the making. The matte black finish looks great on TWSBI’s flagship piston-filler.
Caran d’Ache 849 “Blue Lagoon” 849 Pen and Pencil Set. Color gradients are all the rage these days, and Caran d’Ache has added their take with this new 849 pen and pencil set in a white, grey, and ice blue gradient.
Viarco Vintage Pencil Set. If you’re looking for an opportunity to sample all of the different Viarco styles, or perhaps a gift for someone who really enjoys pencils and vintage-inspired writing, this half-gross set contains six dozen Viarco pencils in the various vintage styles.
Viarco Vintage Pencils (Individual Styles). All of the various Viarco pencil styles are available for purchase in boxes of a dozen, including both the No. 2 graphite pencils and the violet core copying pencils.
Viarco Pencil Caps. Looking for a way to protect the point on your freshly sharpened wood pencils? Viarco makes these coiled stainless steel pencil caps that slip easily over the sharpest of tips.
NJK Pencil Sharpeners. Perhaps my favorite long-point pencil sharpener, due to the combination of cost and effectiveness. Each sharpener is available in six different colors, and comes with a replacement blade. I plan to make additional replacement blades available soon.
Yamamoto A5 Writing Pads. We received a shipment of Yamamoto A5 writing pads that includes both “new” Sanzen and “old” Tomoegawa Tomoe River Paper options, in addition to Yamamoto’s own bank paper. The Tomoe River pads have 200 sheets of paper, while the bank paper pads have 100.
Yamamoto Fountain Pen Friendly Paper Sampler. We have one remaining Fountain Pen Friendly Paper sampler! Once these are gone we’ll be awaiting the next version if I can’t get more.
New Lamy Inks and Notebooks. We have a restock of the Lamy Cliff and Blackberry bottled inks, as well as ink cartridges now available!
