The Esterbrook Estie Bestie Sugar Plum Purple fountain pen takes a quieter approach to the friendship theme, recalling shared confidences and creative moments. Dark, grape-like purple acrylic is dotted with delicate white flecks, giving the finish contrast and a playful touch. Natural variations in the turned resin make each pen different.
Bestie draws on the friendships Esterbrook sees among writers at pen shows, in stores, and online. The color story brings that shared interest in writing into a standard Estie for journaling and personal notes.
The cap, barrel, and grip section are made from turned acrylic. PVD gold trim and a gold-plated stainless steel JoWo nib complete the design, while the fountain pen uses an international cartridge/converter filling system and closes with a screw-on cap. It is made in the United States.
