TWSBI ECO Fountain Pen - Carrara w/ Onyx Trim - The Goulet Pen Company
TWSBI ECO Fountain Pen - Carrara w/ Onyx Trim
The TWSBI ECO fountain pen boasts an incredible value with its piston filling system and affordable price. Like many other TWSBI fountain pens, it features a crystal clear acrylic barrel so you can see your ink level, and a marbled white cap and finial. The pen cap has an inner cap to ensure a perfect seal when stored away. It is completed with onyx black PVD trim and a matching stainless steel nib.
The Carrara color features a new coloring technique in the injection molding process to create unique patterns and colors. Every single pen will be unique and we cannot honor special requests.
TWSBI's belief is that it is important to allow the user to disassemble and reassemble the pen and completely experience the traditional aspects of owning and using a fountain pen. These pens also come packaged with a wrench and silicone grease. Neither of these accessories are intended to be used immediately, as they are for long-term care and maintenance. Additionally, please use extra care if you choose to disassemble the nib and feed, as the feed is very fragile.
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.

Excellent color variation. The stub nib is fantastic even though I’m learning slowly. Paired excellent with pelikan turquoise.
The marbling is beautiful. I got a nice heavy dose of color in my pen and the stub nib just gushes ink like ink is supposed to.
I love these eco pens, they are fantastic for shimmer inks. I’m a sucker for the black trim so when I saw this I had to have it. Performs as expected.
It is an Eco! Nuff said. The best fountain pen money can buy for $50-$60. I now own 12.
Really nice pen. I like the piston fill a lot. I just recently started getting into fountain pens and I enjoy this one.
This TWSBI Carrara has quickly become one of my favorite pens. It’s the onyx trim and nib. I just love it. The Carrara is a great neutral. I can ink it with any color. I got it with a medium nib and it’s as smooth as butter.
Like Jason W., I really didn't need another TWSBI ECO, but I bought it anyway. I love Carrara marble, and I really wanted something that was ink-neutral. Any ink color would work in this pen. The nib is very smooth, as are all my TWSBI nibs (I prefer medium). And it's just plain fun. I filled my pen (after rinsing out with water) from a sample vial of Pilot Iroshizuku Syo-ro (really like the ink, too). If you're buying your first TWSBI you'll love this pen. If you already have 5 or more, you'll love this pen. These special versions are gorgeous. TWSBI is doing a good job of keeping the ECO very interesting!
OMG it's gorgeous! I didn't _need_ another Eco. But I had to have this. If they ever make a 580 in this style I'm getting one! And I said that with full Peregrin Took energy.
My very first fountain pen and I love it. Brian's youtube videos have been super helpful too :D
Beautiful writer and easy to fill
Gorgeous and as lovely as the many other TWSBI Eco pens that I have. Can’t beat the ink capacity, and I love the colors in the caps. This is the first one with a black nib that I’ve purchased, and I love love love the swirly monochromatic pattern accented by the black hardware. Fun special edition!
This pen is third in my TESBI collection. Well made for a reasonable price. This one like the others is an outstanding writing instrument. Initially using X Feather Blue ink.
Love the color of black and white swirled together.
Like all my TWSBIs , writes great.
Just a great, smooth, reliable every day writer!
