Fountain pens are a bit of a marmite product – you either love them or hate them. Experience has shown me that those who lean towards hate were probably forced to write with them at school and/or started out with poorly made, leaky pens. My recent experience of using fountain pens has been the complete opposite and, you’ve gotta admit, you feel fancy AF writing with them!
Kaweco is the best brand for those dipping their toes in the fountain pen waters (or ink!). A German pen brand established nearly 140 years ago(!), Kaweco’s Sport family of pens was designed in the 1930s to be large in the hand and small in the pocket. This design is still the backbone of their brand today.
I already own a Perkeo and a Classic Sport but it’s the new Iridescent Pearl which has caught my eye of late.
Kaweco COLLECTION is a range of approximately six special colours per year, released in addition to the standard ranges. Each release is available to order for just 12 months, featuring colours that match trends.
The Kaweco Iridescent Pearl is a fountain pen in a variety of colours. Depending on the angle and lighting, it shines in a uniquely shimmering colour, imitating the effect of a pearl. And she’s a beauty!
Plus, because this is Kaweco we’re talking about, she’s not style over substance; she writes like a dream as well.
I’m a bit obsessed with this shade of ink but there are so many to try. If you win this pen in today’s giveaway, you’ll also win a ‘twist and test‘ cartridge dispenser featuring eight different colours: Ruby Red, Palm Green, Paradise Blue, Sunrise Orange, Midnight Blue, Summer Purple, Caramel Brown and Smoky Grey. Studio Pens have also thrown in some Kaweco merch.
Just head over to @ACornishGeekLetters to be in with a chance of winning.
soooooo pretty! <3
