In short order, Lamy has released two additional special edition Safari pens for 2024, and this time both new colors are available in fountain pen, rollerball, ballpoint, and the .5mm mechanical pencil formats. Of the two new color combinations, the “Pina Colada” (turquoise/yellow) is my favorite, mostly due to the yellow clip and accents, though “Cherry Blossom” (red/pink) is another excellent color combination that’s consistently popular.
In addition to the recently released Safari Pina Colada and Cherry Blossom Special Editions, we have fresh stock of the Pink Cliff and Violet Blackberry pens, as well as the Fiery and Aquatic AL-Stars! Additional new releases and restocks are set out below, and don’t forget to check our “Gently Used” page, which has been updated and all items can be combined with the standard shop to hit the free shipping threshold at $75.
The contrast on both pens is really nice. I’m a sucker for anything yellow, so the Pina Colada is my preference, but Cherry Blossom/Sakura pens are always favorites!
Lamy Safari Special Editions in Pina Colada and Cherry Blossom. We currently have stock of the fountain pens, rollerballs, ballpoints, and mechanical pencils. Both colors are currently in-stock and available.
Lamy Safari Special Editions in Pink Cliff and Violet Blackberry. Don’t sleep on these special editions from earlier in the year, which feature a darker color scheme. It’s nice to see Lamy mix it up a bit!
Lamy AL-Star Special Editions in Fiery and Aquatic. The 2024 AL-Star release includes two metallic red and blue options, with matching transparent grip sections. We also have recently arrived stock of last year’s editions in Azure, Cosmic, and Whitesilver, as well as remaining Lilac and Petrol pens.
Lamy Special Edition Inks and Dark Lilac. The Pink Cliff and Violet Blackberry fountain pen releases were accompanied by two new matching inks, and promptly followed by the re-release (or re-formulation) of Dark Lilac. We have stock of all colors available.
Lamy Pico Pocket Ballpoints. The Pico is back in stock, with plenty now available in all colors! One of my all-around favorite pocket ballpoints, the Pico expands from the size of a tube of lip balm into something close to a full-sized writing instrument.
Metacil Infinity Pencils. As I discussed in yesterday’s post, “infinity pencils” (which typically need no sharpening) have been around for years, but only recently have companies perfected the tip formulation to where you get a writing experience that’s consistently legible at a 2H hardness.
Caran d’Ache Pencils. All of these longtime shop favorites are fully restocked, from the bicolor annotating pencils to the fabulous Swiss Wood. You can read more on our recent Caran d’Ache restock here.
Tom’s Studio Lumos Refillable Fineliner Pens. This relatively new product category is one that I want to lean into, as I’ve been using these refillable fineliners on a daily basis for the past few months. I even carry the pocketable Lumos “Mini” in the pen loop on my pocket notebook. Replacements are available for all tips and capillary fillers.
Midori MD Cotton Paper in A5 and A5 Square. Midori recently released new sizes of their 20% cotton paper, one of which is a standard A5! The “Square” version is quite popular in Japan, and we not only carry this shape but covers to match.
New Stálogy Notebook/Planner Accessories. We have the recently released special edition Stálogy 1/2-year notebook in white, along with the new notebook covers and additional removable planner and to-do stickers! You can now fully customize your Stálogy notebook/planner (though the stickers work on other papers as well).
