"There's something about the Momento Zero Pausilya that stopped me in my tracks the moment I saw it. The resin takes its name from Posillipo, a stretch of coastline near Naples, and its shows: amber and deep teal swirl together in a way that I haven't quite seen in a fountain pen before. I love Leonardo's build quality, and this colourway alone is reason enough for me to add another one to my own collection."

"There's a real satisfaction in opening the Pineider Milano Leather Laid Notebook Medium. The Saffiano leather cover has a clean, structured feel in hand, and the laid paper is smooth in a way that makes every page feel worth writing on. I love that you can personalize the cover with your initials, or even just the month, so it doubles as a small archive of the notebook you were filling at the time."

"Scribo's Blu Pop is my first ink from the brand, and it won't be my last. I'm drawn to a deep, saturated blue, and this one delivers. It's vibrant but not overpowering, with enough clarity to keep it easy on the eyes for everyday writing. A great distinct blue to add to my ink collection, which I can never have enough of."

"I love the LGNDR TRYP Mini Briefcase for travel, it's the perfect size for a passport or holding onto ephemera along the way. I went with the forest green, a rich shade that reminds me of a leaf that's lived through a full summer and weathered many storms. The Tuscan leather has real texture to it, and it's built to only look better with wear."
