This box includes 7 long standard international fountain pen ink cartridges of Jacques Herbin Violet Boréal.

Jacques Herbin Violet Boréal allows you to dip your nib in the violet glows of the aurora borealis. A rich purple ink, Violet Boréal is an ink made for confidence or meditation; it is also classic and perfect for writing.

Established in Paris in 1670, the Maison HERBIN initially specialized in the sealing wax, fine stationery and ink trade, and imported shellac from India. Since this founding their aim has been to "Give body and color to our thoughts." The adventure of one of the oldest ink makers in the world began over three hundred years ago but its products have expanded into a complete universe of inks, writing instruments, stationery, and other goods for amateurs and connoisseurs of the lettering arts.
