Lots of news to report this week, including the return of the Mazzuoli Nobile ITALIA ballpoint pens and WMS & Co. Sterling Page markers to the Curated Shop, as well as the launch of the ENSSO “Aria", a new Kickstarter project bringing ENSSO’s minimalist design to the everyman’s BIC refill. Keep an eye on the shop for new items that I’ve ordered in advance of the holidays, and I’ll also be spotlighting lots of new releases and promotions from friends and sponsors in the weeks to come. [UPDATE: I’ve also added limited edition Caran d’Ache + Paul Smith Supracolor Colored Pencil Sets, as well as the new Write Notepads Memo Pad! Don’t miss these.]
All domestic Curated Shop orders over $75, and international orders over $250, ship free! Domestic shipping rates range from $4.50 to a max of $8, depending on weight. Heavier orders will ship USPS Priority Mail or UPS.
The TGS Patreon Program and sales through The Curated Shop are how I fund The Gentleman Stationer. Your support is greatly appreciated!
Mazzuoli Nobile ITALIA Ballpoints (via T.G.S. Curated Shop). After my last order sold out in 30 minutes, I restocked these highly ergonomic ballpoints that also ship with a mechanical pencil insert. Read more about the history behind the design, which is inspired by airships from the early 20th Century. Available in four colors.
Maiora Impronte Fountain Pens (via Vanness Pens). Maiora fountain pens share heritage with Leonardo, in that both companies were founded by former employees of Delta, and the influence shows. Vanness has sent me some of these pens for review and I hope to have a review up in the coming weeks.
ENSSO Aria (via Kickstarter/ENSSO). Another dedicated housing for BIC refills? Count me in. The new ENSSO Aria looks to apply ENSSO’s minimalist design philosophy to the common BIC ballpoint refill, which is always a favorite!
CW&T Pen Type-B (via T.G.S. Curated Shop). As I build up my inventory of high-quality, durable everyday writers that will serve you well for years to come, I don’t want to let a modern classic get lost in the shuffle. Superfans of the Pilot Hi-Tec-C gel refill, and needle-tip gel pens in general, need to give this pen a look. Check out my write-up here.
WMS + Co. Sterling Silver Modern Page Markers (via T.G.S. Curated Shop). Looking for an excellent gift idea for the upcoming holidays, or a high-end bookmark to jumpstart your reading during what might be a long winter indoors? Check out these page markers, which are larger than the Silver Page Points but smaller than the Folded Book Weights.
Write Notepads Copper Anniversary Edition Pocket Notebooks (via T.G.S. Curated Shop). I recently tried to order more of one of the most fountain pen friendly pocket notebooks on the market, but they are sold out and I worry the “Anniversary Edition” might be limited. Hopefully Write has something different in store using this same great paper, but for the time being I still have a few packs in stock. If you’re a fan of the PUR bound format, I do have Chesapeake notebooks in stock.
Caran d’Ache “Claim Your Style” Edition No. 2 (via T.G.S. Curated Shop). I still have Caran d’Ache 849 Claim Your Style pens in most colors, with the blues and the pink being my personal favorites. The 849 is an excellent everyday writing instrument in the sub-$50 category (or even less, for the standard version).
Caran d’Ache Annotation Pencils (via T.G.S. Curated Shop). A mentioned above, I now offer these by the dozen as well as by individual pencil. I rarely read a book without one of these pencils tucked in the back. Sometimes I’ll opt for the highlighter version.
Star Wars Pens on Sale (via Goldspot). Goldspot’s “Weekly Dip” features a sale on Star Wars pens, including releases from the Sheaffer “Pop” and Cross “Click” series. All of these are solid everyday writers that won’t break the bank.
