With the Le Petit Prince Regular Edition, Visconti pays tribute to Antoine de Saint Exupéry’s timeless masterpiece, transforming the poetic power of the stars into a writing instrument designed to treasure imagination, aspirations and dreams.

Le Petit Prince (The Little Prince) is a famous novella written and illustrated by French aviator Antoine de Saint-Exupéry, first published in the United States in April 1943 and later in France. It is one of the best-selling and most-translated books in publishing history. The novella has sold over 200 to 300 million copies worldwide and has been translated into more than 300 languages and dialects. This year is the 80th anniversary of its publication.

Crafted from deep blue acrylic resin, the pen evokes the depth of the night sky, while yellow enamel stars illuminate its body like tiny constellations. The intricately engraved and enameled central band, featuring the official logo of the story and Antoine de Saint-Exupéry’s signature, is complemented by gold-plated trims that enrich the design with refined symbolic details.

This fountain pen features a stainless steel nib. A converter is included, and it also accepts standard international short cartridges. Each pen is presented in a dedicated box and accompanied by an illustrated bookmark, both inspired by the unmistakable universe of the story. More than a writing instrument, it is an invitation to follow your own star and treasure the dreams that guide every journey.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I use this pen with ink cartridges?

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 standard international ink cartridges, a common size which is available in many colors from various brands.

You can learn more about how to actually install an ink cartridge on our blog, or in this video tutorial:

How do I use a converter?

A converter goes in the place of where the ink cartridge would normally go. From there, you can fill your fountain pen from bottled ink.

A converter is a detachable and refillable ink reservoir that allows you to use bottled ink in a cartridge-accepting pen. Typically you will install the converter into the grip section, dip the nib/feed into the ink, and twist or pull the converter knob to draw ink into the converter.

We have a great video showing how to use a converter here:

How do I clean this fountain pen?

It mostly comes down to flushing out the pen with water, and sometimes a little bit of pen flush if the ink is really stuck.

We put together a blog post with step-by-step instructions, or you can watch the video here:

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.
