In rivers, the water you touch is the last of what has passed and the first of that which comes; so with present time. Laban Pen presents the new Damask fountain pen and rollerball pen to the 325 series for this flourishing season.
Damask embodies the flowing luster of vivid patterns, like water. Crafted in serene pine green and crimson-purple colors, it is a unique "living writing instrument" for the scent and hue of the celluloid barrel will quietly transform into with everyday use and the passage of time.
Activate all five senses.
The unpredictability of this material, Celluloid, is genuinely fascinating.
After years of waiting, we can finally introduce the celluloid Damask fountain pen and rollerball pen.
True Celluloid, with its ever-changing aroma, releases a deep medicinal scent upon friction, akin to camphor but with a hint of earthy aroma. With everyday writing use, the color of the barrel might shift from vivid bright to warm. The interplay of material, skin, and time is intriguing.
Praise the present moment.
The name "Damask" takes inspiration from textiles. It shares a similar specialty with Celluloid; they both reveal the resilience and fragility of objects in uncertain circumstances. It is a "living writing instrument" that belongs to the present moment. Amid the ever-flowing hustle and bustle of the world, the only constant in life is change.
Laban Damask pen is for writers to write down the instants of life. Handwriting records emotions, and a metamorphosis should be a step toward progress.

CARE & MAINTENANCE
Do not sanitize your Laban pen with cleansing alcohols
After the covid-19 pandemic, people now use cleansing alcohol or another disinfectant spray to sanitize personal items more frequently. However, your beloved stationery is made with precious parts/materials, if it contacts with solvent/alcohol, the solvent may eat away at the material.
- The gold-plated surface may interact with solvent and loss shimmer or get rusty.
- The acrylic resin part may become weak and get tiny cracks easily.
Thus, we suggest you clean your pen with just water. Also, clean your hand with soap first before your daily writing, which is also a good sense of ritual for both you, and your luxury stationery.
* Ultraviolet sanitize lamps may also damage the acrylic part.
Please use/keep your Laban pen carefully
Do not let your sterling silver, silver-plated, or gold-plated pens contact any chemicals, or keep them in a moist environment for a long time. Please keep the pen in a pen bag or the gift box while carrying it to go out, to avoid surface damage from accidental impact or scratch.
Strongly suggest you store the pen separately with keys or sharp metal items.
How to fix the pen surface damages
If tarnishing occurs, you may use a silver polishing cloth to polish the pens, but it won’t make the pen revert to its original.

Please contact us directly, and provide your warranty card, also pictures of your pen. We could have a spare replacement for it.
