SAILOR Retro Fountain Pen Ink Sample · Taisho Chic 3ml

Named for the Taisho era, a brief fifteen years when Japan was busy borrowing from everywhere at once. Taisho Chic is the ink that captures that mood, a soft antique shade with the faded elegance of a photograph that has been handled too many times. 3ml glass sample vial with a leak-proof aluminum screw cap Decanted by hand in Brooklyn from a full SAILOR Retro bottle Enough ink to fill a converter two or three times, or fill a pen once and swatch generously Made in Japan by SAILOR, one of the country's oldest fountain pen houses Well behaved on cheap paper, which is rarer than it sounds Part of the SAILOR Retro trio alongside Showa Modern and Heisei Pop SAILOR's Retro line is one of those small, quiet collections that rewards paying attention. Start with a sample, and if it sticks, the full 10ml bottle is waiting. ✦
