Writing Instrument




"The Leonardo Momento Magico in Pietra Salata is a stunning pen that quickly became my everyday favorite. I love the smooth ink flow, the comfortable weight in my hand, and the elegant, stone-like finish that gives it such character. With its generous 1.5ml ink capacity, I don’t need to refill it often, even though it’s the pen I reach for the most."
Paper

"While Paper Republic is best known for its beautiful leather covers, I’ve completely fallen in love with their paper. I’m using the pocket book refill as my everyday journal, filling it with photos and little bits of ephemera on every other page. The 120 g/m² paper lays flat so nicely, and the coptic binding gives it such a clean, simple charm. I write exclusively with fountain pens, and there’s never any ghosting or bleeding. The dotted pages let my creativity flow freely while still giving just the right touch of structure."
Ink

"This is one of the rare bottles of ink I’ve actually finished, and happily repurchased. The colour is a gorgeous, rich blue
that reminds me of the ocean at its deepest depths. It writes beautifully on any paper, no matter the nib size. Plus, being waterproof, lightfast, and archival-quality makes it a joy to pair with other mediums like watercolour."
Other

"Jo Ham has quickly become one of my favorite artists. Every time I spot her work in the store, it instantly brings a smile to my face. There’s something so charming and playful about the little bunny silhouettes going about everyday tasks. They capture the humor and simplicity of daily life and remind me to approach even the most ordinary moments with a bit of fun and lightness."
