Visconti Voyager Mariposa Fountain Pen - Painted Beauty
Visconti is delighted to announce the launch of the Voyager Mariposa. A collection that pays homage to the original, iconic Visconti 'Voyager' launched in the early 90's. The Voyager Mariposa maintains the clean, ergonomic lines of the original design but has been modernized with new design features and two unique color palettes formulated by USA resin manufacturer, Kristen Brooks (Fountain Telling), of the Carolina Pen Company.
Mariposa translates to ‘Butterfly’ from Spanish. A butterfly's wings come in an amazing assortment of colors and patterns. Aside from being beautiful, they also serve a purpose. They can help butterflies find a mate, blend in with their surroundings, or absorb heat. In toxic species, bright colors warn predators to stay away.
Two spectacular new resins have been selected for their irresistible display of vibrant, shimmering colors that mimic the colorful display of a butterfly wing: Malachite and Painted Beauty. Both resins were selected for their color saturation, shimmer, and swirling. This fountain pen, the Painted Beauty, emulates the blue and pink colors of its namesake butterfly found throughout the Amazon forests, Ecuador, Brazil, and Peru.
Visconti goes further adding patented innovations that pen enthusiasts have come to admire and appreciate from Visconti:
· The iconic 'Ponte Vecchio' bridge clip
· Hook-Safe Lock closure system
· The fountain pen features Visconti’s high power vacuum filling system and in-house 18kt gold nib
· Finally, Visconti added a newly detailed ring with a bold ‘V’ logo design to accentuate the collection.
The Voyager fountain pen features Visconti's 18k gold nib, available in EF, F, M, and B.
Each pen is numbered.
And this is a US exclusive offering.
Note: We do our best to photograph the pens to show how they will appear in person, but due to the nature of the material, expect some variation in the pattern from what you see here.
