Sailor Pro Gear Fountain Pen - Classic Ko "Ala SV"
Classic Ko is a celebrated name in the world of intricate artistry and timeless design. The Classic Ko jewelry brand is made by the Maki-e producer Oshita Kosen Kobo, which has been operating in Kaga City, Ishikawa Prefecture in Japan since 1894. Known for their deep appreciation of cultural heritage, they expertly blend traditional craftsmanship with modern aesthetics. Every Classic Ko creation tells a story, combining artistry and innovation to produce remarkable, culturally inspired works.
The name “Ala” translates to “wings,” symbolizing good fortune and beauty, while “SV” highlights the use of silver in the design. This pen, based on a smoky gray transparent Pro Gear Standard, features an exquisite silver "Maki-e" motif, adorned with shimmering mother-of-pearl accents.
At the top finial, you’ll find a luxurious gold foil stamping of "Ko,” a signature touch that underscores the collaboration’s exclusive nature. This detail elevates the pen’s aesthetic appeal, making it a true standout piece.
The pen is equipped with Sailor’s 21k solid gold nib, delivering Sailor's signature smooth, precise writing experience. The collaboration with Classic Ko combines exceptional technical expertise with artistic vision, resulting in a pen that is both functional and a work of art.
The Classic Ko "Ala SV" is exclusively available at Sailor Bespoke retailers.
