Esterbrook Estie Bestie Fountain Pen - Sugar Plum Purple
The Esterbrook Bestie Collection celebrates friendship, fun, and a shared love of pinks and purples through two joyful fountain pens: Bubble Gum Pink and Sugar Plum Purple.
Sugar Plum Purple leans into a dark, grape-like purple accented with white flecks, giving it depth, contrast and just the right amount of whimsy. The balance and weight are familiar and comfortable for long writing sessions, journaling, or everyday use.
Each bestie pen is housed in a playful drawer-style box. Inside, you'll discover a soft, furry "bed" for your Bestie, adding an extra layer of charm and collectability to your unboxing experience. It's whimsical, cozy, and perfectly on theme.
The Esterbrook Pen Company, a true American Original, is rewriting its long success story in modern times with a fresh new pen collection based on a complete rebranding. The first new collection is called Estie, a modern day nickname for the brand and a symbol of 1930s nostalgia. The Estie fountain pen is available in a vintage palette of colors.
This flecked purple resin fountain pen has gold trim and has a cushion cap closure. It can be inked with either standard international cartridge or converter (both included) and is equipped with the respected #6 JoWo German gold-plated steel nib.
A sleek clip provides a clean accent for the cap and slides easily into a shirt pocket. A cushion cap closure provides a secondary seal to ensure a wet point. Finally, the fountain pen is equipped with a gold #6 JoWo steel nib in a range of sizes. The Estie fills via standard international cartridge or converter (included).
We do our best to photograph the pens to show how they will appear in person, but due to the nature of the material, there will be some variation in the pattern seen here. This adds an element of uniqueness to the pen, with no two patterns being exactly the same. We cannot honor special requests.
