Snap Shot - Lamy


Guys, I know you're as excited as I am about this news, it's been all over Twitter. I have a new pen, to be fair though it's a pretty nice one and it makes a change from the usual ever-breakable Bic Biro (though I still like them really). I chose a Lamy Safari rollerball in yellow. Design by Wolfgang Fabian in Germany, I think you're getting something pretty well made in terms of design, durability and function for under a 10er. It's safe to say I won't be lending this one out willy-nilly, cos they never come back do they?

Another one for the ever growing stationery collection.

  1. Definitely don't hand it out...you'll probs end up giving it to a pen-chewer like me. Ruined for life! x

  3. I love how you've done a whole blog post on a pen. It is a nice pen though. I'm inspired. When I get paid I'm going to buy a nice pen ! I like that it's yellow too.

  6. Preaching to the converted here. My main fountain pen is a Lamy Vista with an extra fine nib (and usually Diamine ink - I would do Noodlers, but the bulletproof stuff really, really, really doesn't wash out of clothes!).

    That is a seriously cool pen! This is why I love your blog, you never know what to expect! Pens are awesome!

    I'm hopeless when it comes to pens though, I'll always leave them behind after classes - it breaks my heart if I've left a really nice pen. I left a parker before! Thankfully discovered a new one in a chairty shop though for £3. I have a big thing for fountain pens, writing always feels smoother!

  9. Love Lamy. Such beautiful pens. I don't really get biros that aren't Bic though. How would you put this behind your ear??

  16. How I envy your matureness to invest in well designed & lovely pens. I havent't lost my stationary obsession from back to school shopping & french supermarkets but there's nothing better than a good old Bic...
