The Paperie Blog

As you may have gathered, this week we are all about that fine writing instrument, the pen. And seeing as this handy device was originally created to eliminate the need to carry around a writing case and a pot of ink, we thought we would put together a list of our favourite Bag Pens. These are perfect for writing on the go.

The Fountain
Retro styling and a secure lid means not only does the Highway Fountain look great, there is no danger of inky puddles appearing at the bottom of your bag. Take a closer look here.

Floral Notes
This Sanderson ball pen is perfect for work. Combine it with your favourite notepad for note taking moments. More details here.

Bold Ballpoint
Even at the most perilous of handbag-depths this bright, bold Lamy will never be hard to find. Extra info here.

Roll on Summer
If inspiration hits whilst travelling, you need a pen that won’t interrupt the creative flow. Fluidity of the ink is the key. And so is the limited edition Lamy. Follow the yellow brick link.

To infinity…and the supermarket?
Space Pens win out for being the ultimate writing tool on the go. If, like the astronauts of the first trip to the moon, you have a seemingly impossible mission to complete – like the weekly food shop with the kids in tow – you need a magical pen that can produce the goods in even the most arduous of conditions. Full story here.

Lamy have just launched this year’s special Limited Edition Safari Fountain and Ball Pen in wonderful Aquamarine Blue, and here at The Paperie we have them in stock right now!

Vibrant, yet still subtle, this new colour is bound to be a huge hit, following on from last year’s fantastically popular Limited Edition Pink Safari.

The Safari Aquamarine is available as a Fountain Pen (supplied as standard with a medium nib, but we can supply with broad, fine, left hand or italic to order), or as a Ballpoint. Standard pens come in a blister pack complete with protective pouch, and of course the usual blue ink cartridge.

If you are looking for something a little bit out of the ordinary, with a fresh and summery look and that classic Lamy style, then look no further – both Fountain Pen and Ballpoint are in stock for immediate delivery, and of course all orders over £5.00 in value are sent post free to UK addresses.

Rhodia notebooks are manufactured in France and have already built up a cult following of their own, especially with those who like to use fountain pens. The Paperie now has a great selection of the most popular Rhodia notebooks available to buy on-line.  Considered by many to be the most ink-friendly notebooks available, Rhodia notebooks are great for note-taking or using as daily journals, whether you use fountain pen, ballpoint, or rollerball.

The Paperie has both the Webnotebook and ePure versions in stock, in A6 and A5 sizes.  ePure is a simple, perfect bound notebook containing 240 pages of top quality 100gsm plain paper.  The Webnotebook (affectionately called the ‘Webbie’) contains 192 pages of 90g ivory Clairefontaine paper (ruled or plain versions available), which means it is ideal for all pen types and a delight to write in. It also features an expanding pocket, a ribbon marker and elastic closure to keep its contents secure, and is a great alternative to a Moleskine.
