NEW PEN DAY, Stationery Store Day and so much more!

SUMMER 2024

Founded in 1919 in Japan, Platinum pens are designed with traditional and modern techniques. Today, we are thrilled to announce FLAX will be offering the 3776 Century collection (with plans for further expansion).

The Platinum 3776 collection is named after the height of Mount Fuji in meters. Available as a fountain pen, the beautifully oversized 14k gold nib glides across the page. Of particular note is the “slip and seal” model, whose cap prevents the ink from drying out for up to two years of non-use. We also love the 3776 Music Nib which dances across the page, ideal for calligraphers and musicians.

Stop in mid-next week and see what makes Platinum different. Coming soon to our website!

Namiki 2024 Limited Edition Yukari Bumblebee

Pilot Corporation of America is proud to present the 2024 Limited Edition Yukari - Bumblebee (丸花蜂). The motif of the pen, inspired by the theme of symbiosis, illustrates a harmonious relationship between the flora and fauna of the natural world, capturing the essence of mutualism.

A bumblebee, with its slightly larger, rounded body cloaked in soft hairs, serves as a vital role in pollen transportation. Found globally, they have become indispensable pollinators for numerous plants and flowers. Keen garden enthusiasts often embrace bumblebees in their gardens, appreciating their docile nature and rarity of stinging. Their diligent foraging is often celebrated as an emblem of intelligence and independence.
