Laban 326 Series — Desert Mirage
Turning our gaze toward the edges of civilization, the desert offers countless revelations about human nature—both a question and a reflection, both exile and redemption.
Continuing our ode to majestic nature, the Laban 326 Series presents Desert Mirage.
With the sand-beige of open plains, the terracotta of the burning sun, and the sepia brown of desert night, a swirling mirage rests in the palm of your hand, accompanying you in the boundless pursuit of life through writing.
Here is no water but only rock
Rock and no water and the sandy road
The road winding above among the mountains
Which are mountains of rock without water
If there were water we should stop and drink
Amongst the rock one cannot stop or think
Reading The Waste Land, the Nobel Prize-winning masterpiece by T.S. Eliot, is a journey of the soul. As one review observed: "In certain unnameable moments of life, reading this poem brings both inspiration and profound fear."
Written in the aftermath of the First World War, The Waste Land reflects a generation facing the collapse of civilization and the disintegration of traditional values.
Between a meaningful life and a meaningless one, the poet gazes into desolation, perceives the rebirth of fate, and bears witness to how hope can rebuild the lost essence of humanity.
The Desert Mirage fountain pen captures the shifting light of the desert's sunrise and sunset in the palm of your hand. For the traveler who dares to cross the wasteland, life is not about waiting for the oasis—it is about learning to write the rivers of your heart, even in barren lands, and letting them flow toward where your soul belongs.

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