Diamine’s annual Ink-vent calendar has become the stuff of legend, and this year’s is probably the best yet. It’s filled, not with chocolate (that doesn’t last anyway), but with... ink! Naturally. This is Diamine, after all.
All the inks are brand new. Some are standard, some shimmer, some smell (nice) and some are chameleons (they change). This year, for the first time, there’ll be extreme sheen and star bright! Sunglasses at the ready...

The Pelikan M600 Souveran Art Collection Glauco Cambon Fountain Pen.
The pen’s extraordinary aesthetics are the result of a meticulous, multi-step production process. Beginning with precision engraving and guilloche techniques on the brass barrel, delicate grooves are etched, culminating in a mesmerizing holographic effect that dances with light. Following this, ten layers of lacquer are meticulously applied, and a vibrant colored image motif is meticulously printed onto the surface. A final round of polishing elevates the colors and imparts a brilliant, high-gloss finish.
Available & on sale NOW!

Montblanc Great Characters Elvis Presley Limited Edition 1935 Fountain Pen.
The “King of Rock’n Roll” who shaped a generation. Born in 1935, Tupelo, Mississippi, and relocated to Memphis, Tennessee, Elvis Presley became one of the most famous musician and actor. The overall shape of the writing instrument is in the form of a car engine’s spark plug, inspired by Elvis’ love for V8 engines, as well as the shape of the gold coated clip. The “EP” logo coming from his signature sunglasses. The cap top features the ‘ELVIS’ logo within the white lacquered Montblanc emblem and the pattern on the platinum coated cap and barrel is coming from one of his golden rings. His famous cap from “Aloha Hawaii” is taken as basis for the lacquered eagle decoration of the cap, while a quote from Elvis “ Ambition is a dream with a V8 engine” is engraved on the cone.
So hard to capture the beauty of the AP Limited Edition Proplyd Fire Fountain Pen.
Prepare to be captivated by its exquisite technique of Negoronuri, a process that weaves together multiple layers of Urushi lacquer, resulting in a breathtaking masterpiece.
What sets this pen ablaze with brilliance? It’s the scattered sprinkles of rich Gold powder that dance across its surface, infusing the beautiful tones of reds with an unmistakable allure. With each stroke, the Proplyd Fire pen reveals a unique expression, meticulously burnished to perfection.

Ah, Italian design – steeped in culture, and the Visconti Briarwood completely nailed it.
Drawing inspiration from Florence Baptistry's geometry and the golden ratio, this pen is a masterpiece. Through the skeletonization technique, the central ring showcases Florence's emblem – the lily, representing beauty and pride. Its cultural significance echoes through artworks by Botticelli, da Vinci, and Michelangelo.
As we've mentioned, we're all about fountain pens with a story.
