This LAMY Lx ("Luxe") fountain pen features a body made from rose gold colored double-anodized aluminum, a gold-coated clip, a translucent grey triangular grip section, and a black glossy interchangeable steel nib.

There are lot of subtle details on the Lx as an enhancement over the similar AL-star model, including matching metal accents on the cap end and barrel end with a shiny diamond polish, a glossy LAMY logo on the barrel, and the laser engraving on the nib. While slightly different in appearance than the other LAMY steel nibs, they are indeed swappable as well.

This pen comes with a matching rose gold-colored anodized aluminum pen case. It also comes with a blue LAMY ink cartridge so you can get started writing right away. If you'd like to use bottled fountain pen ink, you can also purchase a LAMY Z28 converter.

Note: To ensure quality performance, LAMY tests their pens as a final step in manufacturing. If you happen to see any residual blue ink, rest assured that this is normal.

A fine present

I have a Safari, and this very Lx. I decided to order another Lx for my wife for her birthday. She loves how beautiful the pen is, how well it writes with the fine nib, and the ability to switch inks if she so chooses. It is her first foray into fountain pens and she could not be happier!

Beautiful Pen

This pen is incredible. One of my favorites in my collection. Beautiful aesthetic with the matching clip and finials as well as the smoky translucent grip section. Looks really good with shimmering inks.

Love the pen

Like the other Lamys I have, the ink flows well, the writing is smooth and even and the pen is doesn't weigh on my fingers.

I love this pen, have recently been gifted one and right away sent one as a gift from Goulet. This seems to be a great family company, and I can tell you they are extremely responsive to any concerns. I will be ordering more pens and supplies in the future for sure. I bought my first Lamy years ago and love it because it is reliable and never leaks during airplane travel!

A pleasure to write with! But don't put the pen in its case upside down!

This is only my second fountain pen and my first really nice one. The pen feels solid and comfortable in my hand, and the blue cartridge ink it came with flows richly and beautifully. I haven't yet tried the converter, but I will as soon as the cartridge runs out. The only problem I had with it was pretty silly, but I think others should know about it-- I had wanted to keep it in the lovely pen case it comes in. I made the mistake of putting the pen in it upside down, and the cap got stuck inside the case and would not come out. The unsuccessful ways I attempted to extract it resulted in scratching the pen cap slightly. It took some tricks that I came up with along with a group of high school engineering students to extract it! (I cut a piece of flexible plastic, rolled it into a tube and inserted it around the stuck cap to hold back the foam "wings" in the case that cradle the pen, but it didn't fall out til one of the students thought of sticking his finger hard into to the case to create a vacuum. The plastic tube cleared the way for the cap to fall out once the vacuum was created! Love these kids!)So, as long as you don't mistakenly put the pen the wrong way in the pen case, this is in every way a great, satisfying purchase.

Lx stands for luxurious

This pen is a delight. The rose gold is stunning. The build quality is top notch. The balance is phenomenal. The look of this pen is show stopping . Writing with this pen is a pleasure. I seek out excuses to write now. It is the safari's fully grown sibling with all the added touches little brother wish he had. I cannot fully describe my affection for this pen. Do yourself a favor, lean in to your elegant side, and buy this pen. You will not regret it.

Lovely pen

Excellent. It writes beautifully, it feels good in my hand, it's very pretty, it was not so expensive that I'm afraid to travel with it.

Beautiful pen, not a good choice for Metallic inks

I wanted to love this pen due to the triangular grip and how much everyone raves about Lamy's, but Its just not as good as my TWSBI's and Moon Mans. It is nicer than Cross and Noodler. It may be better built than Aurora, but it doesn't write as well. I'm going to try some Parker ink in in, but right now I just can't recommend this pen.

great pen

Feels good in the hand, writes a smooth chonky line, has great (copious) ink flow, easy to fill and use. I like the ink window and far prefer the performance of this nib to the same-sized (but left-handed) nib on my Lamy Safari.

Light, Smooth, Love

This is my third fountain pen and I am IN LOVE. It write smoothly, it is light weight, the cap is amazing, the nib is beautiful, the colour, muah. I would absolutely continue to purchase and use Lamy based off of this pen alone.

Really disappointed

This is my fourth Lamy because I love this pen. My other three are Al-Stars, so I splurged on the LX knowing it would be awesome. Right from the beginning I had to switch out the nib. No matter what I did, I could not get a good ink flow, so I switched to the standard silver nib. No gorgeous black nib for me. About a year after purchase, the finial popped off. I put it back together, but every time I uncapped the pen, the finial went flying and the clip hung sideways. It was no longer under warranty, so I shipped it to be repaired where I had to pay for a new cap and shipping back (should have just bought a new pen). I haven't used it since it was returned to me, but today I decided to ink it up. The body of the pen is loose! Capping the pen pushes the bottom finial out. I know they're are much more expensive pens or there, but this was a big splurge for me. I'm really disappointed that I've had so many problems with this LX. I definitely got a bum pen, but Lamy just wants me to keep paying to have it fixed.

Best pen ever!

I have many pens and have owned this one for about a year now. It is my all time favorite pen, due to manufacturing quailty, weight, length, and color. I use an extra-fine nib and this one is truly extra-fine. Ink always flows from the first touch of pen to paper. Not only am I satisfied with the pen, people often remark on it, ask to try it, and ask where to get one. It is a truly impressive pen. If I could give this pen a 10 star rating, I would do so.

A beautiful pen, a joy to write with

Saw this pen in a Japanese bookstore, but being a loyal Goulet Pen fan, ordered it here! I got the rose gold since the gold was unavailable, but I'm glad I did - I prefer the rose gold color. The nib is different than the other Lamys I have, and the fine nib is just that - my other Lamy fine point writes like a medium nib. It is unbelievably smooth and writes faster than I can think. My only quibble is the build quality of the grip where it screws into the body and the ink cartridge is attached. It's plastic and feels a little wonky when I **** it in or out - I fear it may not last long. It's a little cheap-feeling. But the nib is the stuff dreams are made of, the anodized aluminum body is beautifully weighted, and the materials gleam. The grip, with its rounded triangular shape, is comfortable to write with for long stretches of time. I adore this pen. It hasn't left my side since I received it.

Great, Lovely pen

Very nice! Ink flows perfectly and the tip is very smooth. Lamy really creates beautiful pens that work well! I am a leftie, so always have a concern about how pens write. :)

Decent pen

The pen has a nice finish and looks great. I wish the storage tube was not an included item so that the price could be better... I don't use it. Also, the ink window doesn't line up with the notch in the section allowing the section to be visible in the ink window. Kind of annoying. I had been gifted the marron color a short while back and it's ink window is also not aligned with the section... Lamy has a QC issue I guess.

LAMY + Goulet = AWSOME

I love Rose Gold and LAMY is the brand for me (don't care for their inks, however). The pen is perfect but not really Rose Gold ... more gold. I'm not mad about it ... I love it.

LAMY LX Fountain Pen-Rose Gold

I love my LAMY! I purchased one in Berlin Germany came home and left it in a classroom by accident and it was gone. Fortunately I found your company and I was able to replace it with a pretty color same model. I place a high value on this pen.

Amazing Lamy quality. Is it worth it?

This is an amazing pen, if your familiar with the Safari or Al Star then you already know what you're getting. I could give this 4 stars because of the price. You get the same quality out of an Al Star for less money. BUT if you are buying this for aesthetic reason then it's a 5 star pen for sure.

Wanted to try a broad nib!

I love it!! I have always used fine, then went to medium, and now love broad! It might be my favorite :). My lamy fine I gave away, now I can say I love lamy's. It's just got to have the right nib size. This was an excellent experiment for me! I now know what I love! The color and weight, the beauty of this pen, and the comfort to hold it, are all just pluses!

I love it.

It writes like butter. I am left handed and occasionally have a hard time finding a pen I like that doesn't drag and skip. This one is my new all time favorite. It is beautiful too.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I fill this LAMY fountain pen with ink? 8EDA1617-F73A-4DAF-8245-6D2BF4ABEB7B

This fountain pen can fill with proprietary LAMY ink cartridges, or from a LAMY converter.

A cartridge is small, disposable, sealed plastic reservoir that holds fountain pen ink. These come pre-filled with ink, and typically you just push to insert them into place and you'll be ready to write!

This pen uses proprietary LAMY ink cartridges, which are available in a range of colors.

As for converters, LAMY does make two different converters - the red Z28, and the black Z27. All of their fountain pens (except the 2000) can accept the black Z27; typically this converter is included with the higher-end LAMY pens like the aion, cp1, scala, and studio. The red Z28 has additional knobs for a more secure installation that is compatible (and sold separately) on the AL-star, joy, and safari.

We've got a great video demonstrating both filling methods here:

How do I clean a fountain pen? 8EDA1617-F73A-4DAF-8245-6D2BF4ABEB7B

It depends on the filling mechanism, but it mostly comes down to flushing it out with water, and sometimes a little bit of Pen Flush if the ink is really stuck. 

It's a bit easier to show than to tell, so we've put together a few quick videos showing you the process:

We recommend a good cleaning every 2 weeks, and any time you change ink colors. Water will usually do the trick, but we recommend you use our Goulet Pen Flush if the ink has been left in the pen for a while and could have dried up, or when you’re switching ink colors.

What's your return policy? 8EDA1617-F73A-4DAF-8245-6D2BF4ABEB7B

We accept returns for up to 30 days from purchase. You can read all our Return Policies here.
