Esterbrook Estie Fountain Pen - Bestie - Sugar Plum Purple

Esterbrook Estie Fountain Pen - Bestie - 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. Bubble Gum Pink blends deep pinks, fuchsia, and soft whites for a lively yet balanced look, while Sugar Plum Purple features a dark, grape-toned purple accented with delicate white flecks for depth and whimsy.

Crafted from acrylic, each pen features natural variation, ensuring no two Besties are exactly alike. With a familiar balance and comfortable weight, these pens are perfect for journaling, long writing sessions, or everyday use. Each Bestie pen is housed in a playful drawer-style box with a soft, furry “bed” inside for a charming unboxing experience.

Purchase both Bestie fountain pens and receive the Bestie accessory collectibles (while supplies last) as a special gift—a perfect way to share one pen with your Bestie or enjoy the full Bestie experience together. The accessory set includes fountain pen inks in grape purple and fuchsia pink, a coordinated washi tape set (four rolls in one tube), embroidered pencil pouches in pink and purple, a Bestie key chain, and a fun sticker set.

Esterbrook is well known for offering fountain pens that have the following unique custom nibs made by nibmeisters:

• The Journaler nib was crafted by nibmeister Gena Salorino. It is a medium nib that has been ground to a stub italic, allowing the nib to write with more flair without taking up too much space on the page.
• The Scribe nib was crafted by nibmeister Josh Lax. It is an architect nib grind, allowing the pen to create broad horizontal strokes and fine vertical strokes. This nib shape is commonly used by Arabic and Hebrew calligraphers, and it was used by many historical scribes to record information.
• The Needlepoint nib was crafted by nibmeister Kirk Speer. It is a fine nib that has been ground to an ultra-fine point, creating a perfect nib for those with small or intricate handwriting. Since the nib is so thin, it doesn't put down much ink at any given time, making it a more quick-drying fountain pen option but also great for handling wetter inks.
• The Techo nib was crafted by nibmeister CY of Tokyo Station Pens. It is a nag style nib designed to be an all-in-one nib. The grind allows the pen to create line variations depending on the angle at which the pen is held. Thicker lines appear at a lower angle, and thinner lines appear at higher angle.

About Esterbrook:

Esterbook began manufacturing nibs in the US in the mid 1800s, but the 1930s were monumental for them, as they introduced their first interchangeable nib system in 1933. The interchangeable nibs gave the user many options for writing, whether in school, business, or for personal use. Today, a similar system is reborn with the Estie and Esterbrook's specially engineered MV Nib Adaptor, which delivers a vintage nib experience with a modern shape Esterbrook pen.
