Pensive Pens Is BACK!

It has been a little while, and we are very pleased to say that Pensive Pens is back!

Being away has reminded us just how much we love what we do; the care that goes into each piece, the time spent creating, and the satisfaction of seeing something handmade go to someone who will enjoy using it. We've also missed the conversations, the shared enthusiasm, the familiar names, and the connection that comes from being part of such a brilliant community.

We're excited to bring new and old pieces back to you all, including the original Serendipity Pen.

There are a number of iems available on the website now, with more to come as things get back up and running, so please keep an eye out.

Thank you all so much!

Rhodia Notepad

We are pleased and excited to welcome Rhodia, Clairefontaine and J. Herbin to our range! Whenever someone asks "What is a good notepad for fountain pens?" you will always see responses of Rhodia and Clairefontaine since they are among the finest papers in the world!

Notebooks are available in dot-grid, line-grid, ruled and the more unusual Seyes or French Ruled which is  a fantastic guide to touching up your handwriting.

Clairefontaine (parent company of Rhodia) make an exceptionally smooth, 90gsm paper that is ideal for fountain pens with no bleeding, feathering or show-through. The paper is silky smooth to write on and shows off the sheening and shading qualities of ink.

Rhodia also make very fine paper that has slightly more texture than Clairefontaine and perfect for fountain pens and daily use.
