Natalina's Picks

Sales Associate
Natalina has always been a very hands-on person, whether they're working with fibre arts or musical instruments, and the written word is no exception. They brought a longstanding love of paper products and has since learned and developed a love for the once-intimidating world of fountain pens and inks, ready to help you continue (or begin!) your journey with our products.
Writing Instrument






"I recently had a chance to try the Extra Fine nib from Esterbrook on several different paper brands, and as someone that enjoys feedback in their nib, this EF is consistent no matter what I'm writing on. The colour palette on Botanical is a lovely pop of colour for any desk, especially with spring approaching, and the Niblet fits perfectly into your pocket!"
Paper


"I've always shied away from books larger than A5 outside of a lecture hall, but this month is my first time trying them out again since then. This is a comfortable size when working from home, your laptop set up next to it, or in a café on a small table, where the size forces you to focus on one thing only. The 60 sheet depth is slim enough to fit into most bags without adding bulk, and I've been carrying mine around for brain dumps before I dig into my personal work! "
Ink


"Even before delving into fountain pens, I was always a black-over-blue ink person. I still am with my ballpoints, and fountain pens have allowed me to play around with many other colours, but it has been hard for me to find a blue I enjoy... until I found Tsuki-yo. Not quite blue and not quite blue-black, this ink is true to its namesake, reminding me of when moonlight pours through the windows at night and washes everything in that specific blue hue."

"The Bookbiners pencil case has one of the best capacities if you're looking to hold several products, no matter what pens you use. The nappa leather is soft to the touch, and I enjoy a flexible pencil case to tuck alongside my books when I'm on the go."
